EDITOR'S  NOTE. 

The  first  catalogue  of  the  members  of  the  Dialectic  Society 
was  issued  in  1 84 1.  It  had  little  to  distinguish  it  from  a  mere 
list.  The  second  catalogue  was  published  in  185 1.  Owing 
to  its  many  defects  a  second  edition  was  issued  in  the  fol- 
lowing year.  From  1852  to  1885  no  effort  was  made  towards 
the  publication  of  a  new  catalogue.  At  this  time,  however,  the 
need  of  one  having  been  long  felt,  a  committee  was  appointed 
to  take  the  matter  in  hand.  At  first  little  progress  was  made. 
Mr.  N.  H.  D.  Wilson  soon  assumed  entire  supervision  and, 
though  graduating  in  1886,  continued  to  prosecute  the  work 
at  his  home.  A  large  correspondence  furnished  him  with  a 
great  deal  of  valuable  information.  For  some  months  the 
matter  was  suffered  to  remain  in  abeyance,  but  in  the  spring 
of  1888  a  committee  consisting  of  Mr.  E.  M.  Armfield  and  the 
writer  were  instructed  to  direct  the  revision  and  publication  of 
Mr. Wilson's  catalogue.  They  decided  to  print  it  virtually  with- 
out change,  as  a  preliminary  step  to  the  preparation  of  a  fuller 
and  more  accurate  form.  In  June,  1888,  this  trial  catalogue 
was  published  in  an  inexpensive  manner  and  distributed 
among  the  alumni.  In  the  fall  of  that  year,  as  Mr.  Arm- 
field  did  not  return  to  the  University,  the  undertaking  fell 
to  the  direction  of  the  writer.  After  mature  deliberation  he 
concluded  to  prepare  a  catalogue  on  an  entirely  new  plan,  and 
re-wrote  the  list  of  members,  as  far  as  possible,  from  original 
and  contemporary  sources.  Necessarily,  in  the  early  years  of 
the  Society  less  accuracy  was  attainable  than  in  the  later.  The 
information  given  with  each  name  has  been  obtained  only  after 
great  labor  and  difficulty.  The  "  Centennial  Catalogue  "  has 
been  freely  used,  but  additions  and  corrections  have  been 
made  to  over  fifteen  hundred  names.  Besides  availing  himself 
of  many  of  the  letters  received  by  Mr.  Wilson,  the  Editor  has 
carried  on  a  very  large  correspondence  for  the  purpose  of  col- 
lecting information.     Great  care  has  been  exercised,  and  it  is

hoped  that  comparatively  a  high  degree  of  accuracy  has  been 
attained.  The  Editor  regrets  sincerely  the  large  number  of 
names  about  which  he  has  been  unable  to  obtain  any  informa- 
tion whatever.  He  earnestly  hopes  that  at  some  future  time 
the  Society  may  see  its  way  clear  to  the  publication  of  an 
historical  catalogue  of  its  members  on  a  much  more  extended 
scale  than  the  present  modest  effort. 

A  word  must  be  said  as  to  the  sketches  which  precede  the 
catalogue.  They  were  prepared  for  the  Centennial  re-union 
in  1889,  and  all  but  one  were  read  on  that  occasion.  The 
Editor  is  confident  that  all  the  old  members  will  cordially 
welcome  their  publication,  which  was  ordered  by  the  Society 
early  in  April  last.  For  the  matter  necessary  to  piece  them 
together  in  order  to  furnish  in  some  degree  a  connected  his- 
tory, the  Editor  is  responsible.  The  Society  greatly  desired 
to  publish,  in  connection  with  the  Centennial  sketches,  the 
able  address  of  the  Hon.  S.  F.  Phillips,  delivered  in  1848,  on 
the  occasion  of  occupying  the  new  hall  in  the  Old  West 
building,  but  in  the  chaos  consequent  upon  the  suspension  of 
the  Society  in  1868,  the  MS  was  lost.

SKETCHES   OF   THE    HISTORY   OF   THE 
DIALECTIC  SOCIETY. 

The  first  student  of  the  University  appeared  at  Chapel  Hill 
on  the  1 2th  of  February,  1795.  Others  soon  joined  him,  and 
the  career  of  the  University  was  commenced.  It  was  not  long 
before  the  need  of  a  society  for  training  in  speaking  and  writing 
was  recognized.  The  earliest  record  of  a  meeting  of  "  The 
Debating  Society"  is  dated  June  3d,  1795,  though  it  is  probable 
that  the  society  was  organized  before  that  time.  The  Debating 
Society  continued  in  flourishing  operation  for  more  than  a  year. 
The  nucleus  of  a  library  was  formed,  and  much  interest  was 
manifested  in  the  debates,  which  were  held  every  Thursday 
evening.  There  was,  however,  some  irregularity  in  the  meet- 
ings. The  members  were  divided  into  three  classes,  who  read, 
spoke  and  composed  alternately.  Two  objections  sufficed  to 
reject  an  applicant  for  membership.  The  price  of  entrance  was 
one  quarter  of  a  dollar. 

After  the  society  had  lasted  only  a  short  time  it  was  con- 
sidered that  a  division  would  be  advantageous  and  that  there 
was  ample  room  in  the  University  for  two  debating  clubs. 
Probably  this  conclusion  was  aided  by  the  heightened  political 
feeling  of  the  day.  But  whatever  the  cause,  on  July  2d,  1795, 
the  division  took  place,  and  the  new  "  Concord  Society  "  was 
formed  on  the  1st  of  August,  which  a  year  later,  on  August 
29th,  became  the  Philanthropic  Society.  There  is  no  trace  on 
the  minutes  of  any  great  excitement  at  the  time  of  division  ; 
simply  the  fact  is  stated,  with  the  names  of  those  who  stayed 
in  and  those  who  separated. 

"  The  Debating  Society  "  continued  unchanged  till  August 
25th,  1796,  when  the  name  "Dialectic  "  was  adopted.  There 
was,  however,  no  change  in  the  internal  workings  of  the 
society.  The  old  laws  and  constitution  of  the  Debating 
Society  are  the  basis  of  those  of  the  Dialectic  Society  to-day. 
The  preamble  read  on  June  3d,  1795,  is  almost  exactly  the 
same  as  that  used  now.     In  this,  nearly  a  century  of  constant

use  has  failed  to  find  a  blemish  or  suggest  an  alteration.  The 
names  and  functions  of  the  officers  of  to-day  are  about  the 
same  as  those  of  ninety-five  years  ago,  except  that  the  secre- 
tary was  then  termed  clerk. 

Thus  the  two  societies  were  launched  forth  on  their  voyage 
of  usefulness.  Doubtless  their  founders  had  small  expecta- 
tion of  the  large  and  influential  bodies  they  were  destined  to 
become.  Of  this  early  period  of  their  career  the  following 
extract  from  Dr.  Hooper's  unequalled  "  Fifty  Years  Since  " 
gives  a  vivid  picture. 

"  I  must  carry  you  back,  ye  proud  Dialectics  and  Philan- 
thropies of  the  present  age,  to  your  humble  birth  and  reveal 
to  you  your  inglorious  antecedents.  It  may  be  good  for  you, 
who  now  loll  upon  sofas  and  survey  with  triumph  your  thou- 
sands of  volumes,  to  look  back  fifty-five  years  and  glance  your 
eye  'into  the  hole  of  the  pit  whence  ye  were  digged.'  The 
Dialectic  library  of  this  college,  all  there  was  of  it,  was  then 
contained  in  one  of  the  cupboards  of  one  of  the  common 
rooms  in  the  East  building,  and  consisted  of  a  few  half-worn 
volumes,  presented  by  compassionate  individuals  ;  and  I  think 
it  was  in  the  habit  of  migrating  from  room  to  room  as  the 
librarian  was  changed,  for  you  may  be  sure  the  responsibility 
of  taking  care  of  such  a  number  of  books  could  not  be  borne 
long  by  one  pair  of  shoulders.  And  besides,  there  was  some 
ambition  to  choose,  as  librarian,  a  man  who  could  wait  on  the 
ladies  with  something  of  that  courtly  grace  which  distin- 
guishes the  marshals  of  this  polished  age.  But  the  cavaliers 
of  that  early  time,  poor  fellows  !  had  to  make  their  way  to  the 
ladies'  hearts  without  any  of  the  modern  artillery  of  splendid 
sashes,  moustaches  and  goatees.  The  naked  face,  with  native 
flush  or  native  pallor,  was  all  their  dependence.  The  cup- 
boards were  not  only  small  but  full  of  rat-holes,  and  a  large 
rat  might  have  taken  his  seat  upon  Rollins'  History,  the 
corner-stone  of  the  library,  and  exclaimed,  with  Robinson 
Crusoe : 

'  I  am  monarch  of  all  I  survey. 
My  title  there's  none  to  dispute." 

"  Such  was  the  infancy  of  Dialectic  knowledge,  such  the 
meagre  fare  provided  for  Dialectic  literary  appetite  in  those 
primeval  days. 


The  Dialectic  Society.  7 

"And  what  is  told  of  one  library  may  be  told  of  the  other, 
for  they  were  as  much  alike  as  the  teeth  of  the  upper  and  the 
lower  jaw,  and  as  often  came  into  collision.  When  one 
library  got  a  book  the  other  must  have  the  same  book,  only 
more  handsomely  bound,  if  possible.  I  am  sorry  to  record 
that  the  contest  between  the  two  societies,  at  that  time,  was  not 
confined  to  an  honorable  competition  which  should  have  the 
finest  library  or  the  best  scholars,  but  that  it  often  amounted 
to  personal  rancor  and  sometimes  seemed  to  threaten  a  general 
battle. 

"  The  societies  then  had  no  halls  of  their  own,  but  held  their 
sessions  on  different  nights  in  the  week  in  the  old  chapel 
(Person  Hall),  without  any  fire  in  winter,  and  besides  with 
the  north  wind  pouring  in  through  many  a  broken  pane. 
Think  of  this,  ye  pampered  collegians  of  this  effeminate  age, 
and  bless  your  stars  that  your  college  times  have  come  fifty 
years  later." 

/  The  societies  met  in  the  chapel  till  some  time  in  the  year 
18 1 5.  The  South  building  was  now  at  last  finished — a  grand 
building  for  those  days — and  on  its  third  floor  were  the  two 
society  halls,  the  libraries  occupying  the  walls.  The  Dialectic 
Society  went  somewhat  into  debt  in  the  fitting  up  of  its  hall, 
but  the  amount  was  soon  paid. 

For  thirty-three  years  the  societies  met  in  these  halls.  The 
period  saw  much  advance  both  in  numbers  of  students  and  in 
the  wealth  of  the  University.  Long  before  its  end  the  societies 
outgrew  their  quarters.  Towards  the  last  of  the  thirties  it  was 
determined  to  make  an  effort  to  obtain  new  homes.  To  this 
end  the  following  circular  letter  was  sent  out.  Who  its  author 
was  is  not  known  ;  he  certainly  was  a  man  of  some  talent  and 
skill  in  presenting  his  cause. 

University  of  North  Carolina, ,  183  . . . 

Dear  Sir : — Your  younger  brethren  of  the  Dialectic  Society, 
the  successors  of  the  rich  intellectual  legacy  which  your  liber- 
ality has  bequeathed  them,  desire  to  address  you  with  that 
diffidence  and  propriety  becoming  the  relation. 

From  this  quiet  and  sequestered  retreat,  sacred  to  learning, 
we  send  you  a  voice  of  greeting,  which,  we  doubt  not,  will

strike  upon  chords  sympathetic  with  our  own — break,  for  a 
moment,  with  pleasing  illusion,  the  spell  of  busy-world  ties — 
recall  the  halcyon  days  of  youth,  and  bring  before  your  vision 
the  old  Dialectic  Society,  like  the  almost  forgotten,  but  beloved, 
features  of  a  dear  friend. 

The  Dialectic  Society  has  been  in  existence  for  nearly  half  a 
century.  Whilst  it  has  preserved  its  original  organization, 
by  embalming  in  its  Constitution  and  Laws  the  spirit  of  its 
founders,  it  has,  externally,  undergone  many  favorable  changes. 
Throughout  this  period,  during  the  greater  part  of  which,  the 
voice  of  maturer  manhood  was  but  seldom  raised  in  favor  of 
the  great  interests  of  public  education  and  internal  improve- 
ment, there  has  always  been  found  within  the  precincts  of  the 
Dialectic  Society  a  little  band  of  youthful  patriots,  who  have 
strained  every  nerve  to  collect  a  Library  and  furnish  a  Hall, 
which  should  be  worthy  of  an  institution  bearing  the  name  of 
University.  Instead  of  a  few  scanty  and  mutilated  volumes  in  a 
book-case,  and  a  student's  dormitory  for  a  place  of  assembly, 
(as  was  once  the  case,)  we  now  have  an  extensive  Library, 
believed  to  be  equal  to  any  in  the  Southern  States — a  Hall 
of  respectable  dimensions — rich  Damask  Curtains,  from  the 
looms  of  France,  are  suspended  from  the  window  arches — 
the  floor  is  spread  with  neat  carpeting — from  the  walls  hang 
portraits  of  various  State  worthies,  like  guardian  Genii  of  the 
place,  looking  with  complacency  on  the  efforts  of  the  young 
hope  of  the  State. 

We  have  the  testimony  of  men  of  years  and  experience, 
that  the  great  expense  necessarily  incurred  for  all  this  costly 
apparatus,  has  not  been  made  with  the  injudiciousness  and 
extravagance,  which,  too  frequently,  mark  the  expenditures  of 
the  young,  but  with  a  prudence  becoming  the  sons  of  the  plain, 
unpretending  State  of  North  Carolina. 

The  energies  of  the  State,  once  dormant,  have  been  aroused 
and,  it  is  to  be  hoped,  invigorated  by  the  long  repose.  From 
the  East  there  reaches  us  the  multitudinous  din  of  works  of 
internal  improvement ;  the  West  responds  in  a  voice  of 
friendly  rivalry. 

This  renovating  spirit  has  breathed  upon  your  Alma  Mater, 
and  lo!  she  has  laid  aside  her  weeds  and  put  on  the  "garments 


The  Dialectic  Society.  g 

of  rejoicing."  The  University  grounds  are  improving — the 
Gerrard  Hall,  a  new  and  spacious  chapel,  has  been  finished — 
the  old  buildings  have  undergone  extensive  and  thorough 
repairs — the  number  of  students  (168)  is  greater,  with  one 
exception,  (1823,)  than  it  ever  has  been  in  any  year  sin.ce  the 
foundation  of  the  institution. 

We  have  caught  the  spirit  of  our  elders,  and  are  desirous 
to  improve  the  interests  committed  to  our  temporary  guar- 
dianship. 

It  is  needless  to  inform  you,  that  the  shape  and  proportions 
of  our  Hall  never  were  suitable  to  the  purposes  to  which  it  is 
dedicated.  But  there  are  still  greater  objections;  it  is  too 
small  for  the  convenient  transaction  of  business  with  our 
increased  number  of  members.  Its  improvement  has  been 
carried  to  the  highest  degree  of  perfection  of  which  it  is  sus- 
ceptible. We  regret  to  inform  you,  therefore,  that  a  limit 
must  be  put  to  further  improvement,  unless  we  can  obtain  a 
larger  Hall.  But  its  size  and  construction  are  not  the  greatest 
objections ;  it  is  located  in  a  building  constructed,  in  part,  of 
very  combustible  materials,  constantly  exposed  to  danger  from 
thirty-two  fires,  incessantly  blazing  in  cold  weather.  Last 
winter  the  roof  was  discovered  to  be  in  a  blaze,  immediately 
over  our  room,  and  it  was  the  general  opinion,  that  had  it 
remained  undiscovered  a  few  moments  longer,  no  human 
means,  within  our  reach,  could  have  saved  the  building. 

It  is  distressing  to  reflect  that  the  rich  accumulation  of 
almost  a  half  century,  is  liable,  in  one  fell  moment,  to  become 
the  prey  of  the  devouring  element,  and  that  the  depressing 
effect  of  such  a  catastrophe  upon  young  hearts,  yet  unbraced 
by  trial,  may  force  many  to  abandon  the  pursuit  of  an  educa- 
tion, and  drive  others  to  distant  colleges. 

Suspect  not  your  young  brethren  of  vanity,  or  an  arrogation 
of  importance,  if  we  venture  an  opinion,  that  it  is  not  only  the 
temporary  residents — for  four  years — who  are  benefitted  by 
the  Society,  but  that  she  and  her  generous  Rival  are  institutions 
in  which  the  whole  State  should  take  an  interest  and  pride. 

This  is,  perhaps,  the  only  place  in  the  State  where  great 
labor  and  expense  are  incurred,  to  collect  a  large  Library.  And 
should  we  succeed  in  rearing  a  Hall  of  suitable  size  and  pro- 


io  Historical  Sketches  of 

portions,  we  should  not  only  expect  to  see  a  rapid  addition  to 
our  present  number  of  volumes,  but  our  walls  covered  with 
portraits,  and  our  niches  filled  with  busts  of  North  Carolina's 
distinguished  sons.  Thus  we  shall  honor  talent  and  useful- 
ness, and  snatch  from  the  grave  what  we  can  of  virtue  and 
worth. 

Nor  should  the  idea  be  omitted  here,  that  by  vacating  our 
present  Hall  and  Ante-chamber,  we  should  resign  into  the 
hands  of  the  Trustees  space  for  the  accommodation  of  eight 
students. 

Need  it  be  said  that  the  inference  from  the  premises,  is  that 
we  wish  to  add  one  more  to  the  number  of  the  University 
buildings,  and  desire  your  assistance  ? 

We  are  sanguine  of  success.  A  handsome  sum  has  been 
already  subscribed  by  the  acting  members,  and,  no  doubt, 
considerably  more  will  be  raised  in  this  way,  before  the  com- 
pletion of  the  building.  The  Society  will,  probably,  be  able  to 
appropriate  $500  per  annum  out  of  its  Treasury. 

The  lowest  estimate  for  the  proposed  building  is  $5000.  We 
would  be  glad  to  obtain  a  larger  sum. 

The  payment  of  the  subscriptions  in  three  annual  instal- 
ments, would  meet  the  views  of  the  Society. 

The  sum  raised  by  subscription  shall  be  faithfully  applied 
to  the  object  set  forth  in  this  communication  ;  and  should  the 
amount,  thus  obtained,  be  too  small  to  justify  the  commence- 
ment of  the  contemplated  building,  it  shall  be  profitably 
invested  until  a  sufficiency  herefor  can  be  raised. 

Many  of  the  expressions  in  this  circular  are,  in  strictness, 
applicable  only  to  regular  members,  but  it  is  hoped  that  the 
whole  of  the  spirit  and  much  of  the  letter  are  equally  suited 
to  the  relation  of  transient  members. 

Receive  from  the  Dialectic  Society  the  assurance  that  it 
takes  a  deep  interest  in  the  prosperity  of  those  who  have 
passed  from  its  hallowed  precincts  to  struggle  for  a  living 
and  a  name.  Most  Respectfully, 

The  Dialectic  Society. 

What  responses  this  letter  met  cannot  be  said.  Certain  it 
is,  however,  that  the  agitation  bore  its  fruits.     The  north  ends

of  the  Old  East  and  West  buildings  were  added,  solely  for  the 
accommodation  of  the  societies.  The  old  apartments  in  the 
South  building  were  turned  into  recitation  rooms,  and  were  so 
used  until  very  recent  times,  when  partitions  were  put  in 
and  they  were  converted  into  students'  dormitories. 

The  new  hall  was  ready  for  occupation  in  the  fall  of  1848. 
The  first  meeting  was  held  there  on  September  9th,  Kemp 
P.  Battle  presiding.  The  following  is  an  extract  from  the 
minutes  of  the  day  : 

..."  It  being  the  first  time  the  Society  had  assembled  in 
this  Hall,  the  Rev.  Dr.  William  Mercer  Green  opened  the 
exercises  with  a  prayer,  which  was  immediately  followed  by  a 
Dedicatory  Address  by  Samuel  F.  Phillips,  Esq.  To  say 
that  it  was  eloquent  and  racy,  abounding  in  pathos  and  replete 
with  solid  instruction,  noble  exhortation  and  excellent  advice, 
is  but  paying  a  faint  tribute  to  this  effort. 

"The  first  President  of  the  Dialectic  Society  being  present, 
in  the  person  of  the  venerable  James  Mebane,  of  Caswell,  the 
President  called  upon  him  to  address  the  Society.  As  affecting 
and  interesting  a  scene  was  perhaps  never  before  witnessed 
in  the  meetings  of  this  Society.  After  an  elapse  of  fifty-three 
years,  one  of  its  founders  and  its  first  President  was  again  in 
our  midst ;  the  patriarch  of  many  winters  had  returned  to 
witness  the  Dedication  of  this  Hall.  Trembling  with  age,  but 
retaining  a  voice  almost  unbroken,  the  venerable  father  spoke 
of  those  with  whom,  in  the  earliest  infancy  of  this  Society,  he 
had  been  associated.  But  they  had  all,  or  nearly  all,  gone 
down  to  the  grave.  He  gave  much  good  counsel,  sage  advice, 
friendly  admonition  and  kind  expression  of  regard  to  the 
youth  assembled  around  him.  He  concluded  by  devoutly 
praying  that  prosperity  and  success  might  ever  attend  the 
sittings  of  this  body;  that  it  might  last  as  long  as  this  Uni- 
versity; that  this  University  might  continue  to  prepare  young 
men  for  the  active  scenes  of  life  as  long  as  we  enjoyed  the  rich 
blessings  of  Liberty  and  the  results  of  good  and  just  govern- 
ment; and  that  these  we  might  enjoy  as  long  as  the  sun  and 
the  moon  should  continue  to  illumine  the  world." 

This  sketch  of  the  Society  has  now  been  brought  to  the 
point  where  begins  the  first  of  the  papers  prepared  for  the 
Centennial  Anniversary  in  1889. 


12  Historical  Sketches  of 


A  BRIEF  SKETCH   OF  THE  DIALECTIC 
SOCIETY,   1848-52. 

By  Richard  H.  Lewis,  M.  D., 

President  of  J  ud son  College. 

When  your  speaker  entered  the  University  in  July,  1848, 
the  hall  of  the  Dialectic  Society  was  on  the  third  floor  of  the 
South  building,  even  at  that  time  known  as  the  "  Old  South." 
The  anteroom  was  filled  with  many  a  quaint,  rare  and  curious 
relic  of  ancient,  mediaeval  and  modern  times.  And,  years 
before,  when  visiting  Chapel  Hill,  I  well  remember  paying  an 
awesome  visit  to  that  chamber  of  wonders,  guided  by  an  exceed- 
ingly handsome  and  courteous  student,  then  familiarly  known 
I  by  his  fellows  as  Matt  Ransom.  By  his  kindness  to  the  raw 
lad  he  made  a  friend  who,  in  the  forty-odd  years  that  have 
passed,  has  never  forgotten  him. 

The  hall  was  a  handsome  one  for  its  day — we  thought  it 
gorgeous.  As  a  centerpiece  for  the  ceiling  it  had  a  gilt  circle 
formed  of  letters  making  the  name,  date  of  organization,  and 
motto  of  the  Society.  Upon  this  charmed  circle  the  eyes  of 
the  young  Freshman  of  fifteen  summers  gazed  with  reverential 
v  admiration.  And  afterwards,  during  the  Friday  night  sessions 
of  the  body,  much  of  his  time  was  employed  in  wondering 
how  the  painter  got  up  there  to  paint  that  circle,  the  debates 
having  very  little  interest  for  the  restless  boy. 

It  required  five  weeks  of  college  life  before  a  student  was 
allowed  to  become  a  member  of  either  society,  the  fiction  being 
that  he  spent  a  great  part  of  this  time  weighing  the  merits  of 
the  two  and  making  up  an  impartial  judgment.  It  was  also  a 
fiction  that  during  this  period  he  was  not  subjected  to  an}" 
solicitation  from  members  of  either  party.  The  allotted  time 
having  elapsed,  the  candidates  for  initiation  were  assembled  in 
the  anteroom,  there  to  be  subjected  to  a  cross-fire  of  mis- 
chievous fun.  A  dark,  mysterious  uncertainty  hung  over  the 
whole  thing  and  cast  its  shadow  on  the  youthful  faces  of  the 
neophytes.  Gloom  filled  some  hearts,  and  a  certain  amount  of 
dread  brooded  over  us  all.     At  last  the  door  of  the  hall  was 


The  Dialectic  Society.  13 

opened  and  we  were  marshalled  in  a  semicircle  in  front  of  the 
president's  chair  of  state.     Shall  we  ever  forget  that  moment ! 

The  obligation  to  keep  sacred  and  inviolate  all  the  rules 
and  usages  of  the  Dialectic  Society  is  administered,  to  the 
keeping  of  which  we  pledge  our  sacred  honor.  Then,  one  by 
one,  we  advance  to  the  secretary's  desk  and  sign  the  constitu- 
tion.    And  many  a  sign-manual  bears  marks  of  evident  tremor. 

Near  me  stands  a  young  Chapel  Hillian  who,  years  after- 
wards, in  the  fateful  campaign  of  1863,  led  a  gallant  company 
of  North  Carolina  troops  in  a  deadly  charge  at  Gettysburg, 
and  was  killed  upon  the  field.  The  class  of '52  will  ever  hold 
in  highest  esteem  and  honor  their  kind-hearted,  genial  class- 
/mate,  John  Henderson  McDade.  In  that  same  semicircle 
stood  many  others  whom  this  State  and  other  States  have 
honored ;  but  we  forbear  to  crown  them  till  their  race  be  run. 

After  the  ceremony  of  initiation,  as  we  were  on  the  point  of 
taking  our  seats,  my  eyes  rested  for  a  moment  on  the  face  of 
the  president.  With  amazement  I  recognized  my  room-mate 
in  that  dignified  officer  with  the  beaver  hat  and  gold-head  I 
cane.  He  had  kept  his  secret  well.  He  was  then  only  sixteen 
years  of  age,  a  Senior  and  a  "first  mite"*  man.  You  all  know 
him — the  State  knows  him,  the  Hon.  Kemp  P.  Battle. 

As  I  looked  around  upon  the  august  body  of  grave  and 
serious  men  and  witnessed  the  proceedings,  I  was  struck  with 
the  senatorial  air  that  marked  each  countenance,  and  selected 
the  extreme  southeast  corner  of  the  room  wherein  to  hide  my 
diminished  head. 

The  members  were  divided  into  four  sections.  The  first 
and  third  always  debated  against  each  other,  and  the  second 
and  fourth.  The  alternate  sections  performed  duty  on  Satur- 
day morning  following  the  Friday  night's  debate  by  the  other 
two.  The  Seniors  were  required,  once  in  each  term,  to  deliver 
orations.  And  the  "  mite  "  men  used  these  occasions  to  test 
their  powers  of  oratory  preparatory  to  their  final  appearance 
on  the  rostrum  at  the  coming  commencement. 

In  the  fall  of  1848,  the  northern  end  of  the  Old  West 
building  having  been  completed,  the  Society  belongings  were 

*  This  word  "  mite,"  or  "  might,"  meaning  "  honor,"  is  now  seldom  used. 
It  is  probably  peculiar  to  this  University.

transferred  to  the  new  hall  located  on  the  second  floor.  The 
dedication  ceremonies  were  graced  by  the  presence  of  the  first 
president  of  the  Society,  Hon.  James  Mebane,  who  sat  side  by 
side  with  the  last  president,  the  latter  being  yet  a  president, 
not  now  of  the  Society,  but  of  the  University. 

We  thought  our  new  hall  was  a  gem  of  beauty.  The 
amphitheatrical  form  of  the  seats  was  a  great  improvement 
over  the  chairs  on  the  floor.  It  was  in  this  room  that  a  young 
Buncombe  student,  class  of  '52,  began  to  win  fame  as  an 
incomparable  speaker,  and  to-day  the  United  States  Senate 
gives  close  attention  whenever  Zeb  Vance  addresses  that 
august  body.  It  was  my  good  fortune  to  be  in  the  same  sec- 
tion with  him,  and,  myself  being  a  debater  of  no  power  what- 
ever, I  relied  entirely  on  the  "gentleman  from  Buncombe"  to 
bring  our  side  up.  It  would  be  a  simple  waste  of  time  and 
words  to  attempt  to  eulogize  one  whom  the  whole  State  of 
North  Carolina  loves,  from  the  mountains  to  the  sea.  We  will 
not  attempt  it.  His  inimitable  wit  and  humor  always  length- 
ened the  list  of  fines  whenever  he  spoke — and  the  treasury 
grew  fat ;  for  who  could  resist  laughing  ? 

The  library  was  opened  twice  a  week,  on  Wednesday  and 
Saturday.  Members  could  keep  books  two  weeks.  The 
"  concave  of  fictionary  novels,"  as  expressed  by  a  green 
"  Fresh,"  was  the  most  popular  department.  There  were 
three  editions  of  Scott's  novels  and  two  of  Fenimore  Cooper's 
to  supply  the  demand.  A  few  very  dignified  Seniors  affected 
Byron,  Shakespeare,  Milton,  Locke,  Foster's  Essays,  Ralph 
Waldo  Emerson,  etc.,  but  most  of  the  boys  preferred  the  skir- 
mish line  of  light  literature  to  the  heavy  artillery  of  the  classic 
writers. 

A  high  sense  of  honor  pervaded  the  membership,  and  they 
keenly  shared  in  the  disgrace  and  participated  in  the  honor  of 
each  individual  member.  The  dignity  of  the  body  in  session 
was  tremendous.  The  Freshman  for  a  whole  year  felt  crushed 
to  the  earth  when  in  attendance,  and  he  hardly  dared  call  his 
soul  his  own.  The  lordly  Senior  had  everything  his  own  way, 
and  brooked  no  opposition  from  any  of  a  lower  class. 

A  considerable  portion  of  the  discipline  of  the  University 
was,  by  consent  of  the  Faculty,  placed  in  the  hands  of  the  two 


The  Dialectic  Society.  15 

societies,  and  a  rule  made  by  them  was  far  more  strictly 
observed  than  any  regulation  of  the  College  officials.  The 
members  of  the  societies  were  very  stringent  in  governing 
themselves,  but  were  restless  under  restraint  from  their  teachers. 
1/  On  commencement  occasions  the  members  of  the  two 
societies  were  distinguished  by  their  badges  and  color  of  ribbon. 
The  orators  wore  long  black  silk  gowns,  the  property  of  the 
societies,  on  the  stage,  with  wide  flowing  sleeves  ;  and  one  of 
the  smaller  speakers  of  the  class  of '52  came  near  taking  an 
undignified  broadside  fall  on  the  platform  by  stepping  upon 
the  trailing  silk.*  It  was  always  a  matter  of  pride  and  con- 
gratulation when  the  majority  of  honor  men  in  the  graduating 
class  was  composed  of  "Di's."  At  the  time  of  which  I  speak 
only  those  Seniors  were  permitted  to  deliver  orations  at 
commencement  who  had  received  one  of  the  three  distinctions. 

There  was  an  eager  striving  with  the  members  of  the  two 
societies  to  see  which  could  secure  as  honorary  members 
the  greatest  number  of  distinguished  visitors.  And  I  well 
remember  the  fun  that  was  "  poked  "  at  one  of  the  societies 
when  it  was  learned  that  its  members,  with  much  zeal  and 
assiduity,  had  captured  a  gentleman  who  proved  to  be  an 
eminent  tailor  from  a  distant  city,  to  add  lustre  and  dignity  to 
its  list  of  members. 

Of  the  value  of  the  work  required  by  the  Dialectic  Society 
of  its  members  from  1848  to  '52  it  may  be  said  that  it  was 
solid.  Lessons  were  learned  in  regard  to  the  rules  of  parlia- 
mentary practice  which  have  since  borne  fruit  not  only  in  the 
legislative  halls  of  our  own  commonwealth,  but  also  in  the 
councils  of  the  nation.  Some  "  Di's  "  of  that  period  have  won 
names  not  soon  to  die.  Two  of  the  class  of  '52  have  won 
gubernatorial  honors — one  a  governor,  the  other  a  lieutenant- 
governor — and  one  of  these  has,,  for  three  terms,  been  a  United 
States  Senator.  Two  have  represented  their  districts  in  Con- 
gress, and  very  many  have  made  their  mark  in  the  halls  of  our 
General  Assembly.  Some  of  them  commanded  brigades  and 
regiments  in  the  late  war. 

*  These  silk  gowns,  called  togas,  were  stolen  by  some  of  Kilpatrick's 
cavalry  when  Chapel  Hill  was  captured  in  the  spring  of  1865,  and  have  not 
been  replaced.

It  is  impossible  fully  to  write  the  history  of  our  Society 
during  any  four  years'  period  without  going  more  or  less  into 
details  concerning  the  personnel  of  the  members  of  that  time. 
And  it  would  be  an  unpleasant  and  invidious  distinction  to 
mention  a  few  without  doing  injustice  to  others. 

We  close  with  a  prophecy  : 

When  the  history  of  our  State,  nay,  of  the  United  States, 
shall  be  written  a  century  hence,  it  will  be  found  that  among 
the  men  who  guided  the  affairs  of  state  and  moulded  the  insti- 
tutions of  the  country,  there  will  be  found  none  more  prom- 
inent than  those  who,  in  the  "  love  of  virtue  and  science," 
trained  their  youthful  minds  in  the  hall  of  the  Dialectic  Society. 


The  Dialectic  Society.  17 


THE  DIALECTIC  SOCIETY  OF   THE   UNIVERSITY 
OF  NORTH  CAROLINA  FROM   1850  TO   1854. 

An  Address  by  the  Hon.  Richard  H.  Battle,  of  Raleigh. 

The  Southern  States  of  the  Union  never  enjoyed  greater 
material  prosperity  than  during  the  years  succeeding  the 
Mexican  War  and  before  the  War  of  Secession.  The  Uni- 
versity of  North  Carolina  experienced  the  reflex  influence  of 
this  prosperity  in  a  great  increase  of  her  number  of  students 
during  those  years,  and  this  increase  was  but  little  impeded 
by  the  money  panic  of  1857.  The  Freshman  Class  of  i849-'50 
was  the  largest  that  ever  had  assembled  here  up  to  that 
time,  and  its  successor  of  1850— '5 1,  of  which  I  was  a  member, 
while  not  quite  so  large,  increased  so  much  in  the  next  two 
years  that  our  Senior  roll  was  the  largest  ever  known,  and  in 
June,  1854,  we  graduated  even  sixty  members,  three  more 
than  the  class  of  1853.  An  examination  of  the  catalogues 
will  show  that,  in  the  decade  from  June,  1849,  the  number  of 
students  had  about  trebled  that  of  the  ten  years  preceding. 
During  the  first  half  of  the  decade  embracing  the  period  of  my 
connection  with  my  Alma  Mater  as  a  student,  her  forces  were 
nearly  doubled.  The  catalogue  issued  in  the  spring  of  1854 
shows  the  matriculates  during  the  year  were  281.  After  grad- 
uation I  served  as  tutor  in  the  College  until  June,  1858,  and 
the  matriculates  the  year  preceding  were  453.  Nine  years 
before  they  had  been  just  150. 

During  the  years  of  my  active  membership  of  this  Society 
our  numbers  were  generally  in  excess  of  those  of  the  Philan- 
thropic Society  in  the  proportion,  say,  of  seven  to  six.  Early 
in  August,  1850,  I  was  admitted  a  member  in  the  "  New 
Hall  "  at  the  north  end  of  the  Old  West  building ;  the  removal 
from  the  "  Old  Hall  "  on  third  floor,  south  side  of  the 
South  building,  having  taken  place  just  two  years,  before. 
About  forty  others  were  admitted  with  me.  Residing  in  the 
village,  and  having  never  been  away  from  home  three  weeks 
at  a  time  in  my  life,  a  delicate  boy  of  fourteen  years  and 
weighing  less  than  75  pounds,  I  feit  a  great  awe  as  we  were

ushered  into  what  appeared  to  me  a  very  magnificent  and 
august  chamber.  A  "first  honor"  Senior,  to  me  then  the 
greatest  of  earthly  beings,  was  in  the  president's  chair,  with 
beaver  hat  on  as  evidence  of  dignity,  and  gold-headed  cane  in 
hand  as  the  emblem  of  his  authority.  The  president  was  a 
young  man  of  grace  and  ease  of  manner,  of  fluency  of  speech 
and  good  memory.  He  recited  the  charge  to  new  mem- 
bers without  confining  his  eye  to  the  book,  and  the  impres- 
siveness  of  the  pledge  was  so  awe-inspiring  to  me  that,  during 
my  whole  course,  to  be  on  the  safe  side,  my  lips  were  sealed 
to  all  outsiders  as  to  everything  that  occurred  within  those 
sacred  walls.  I  did  not  stop  to  enquire  what  might  be  the 
tendency  outside,  if  known,  of  anything  that  was  said  or  hap- 
pened there.  To  me  it  was  a  society  secret  and  sacred.  My 
fellow-members  took  about  the  same  view  I  did  of  the  nature 
and  sacredness  of  that  pledge,  and  I  am  now,  after  the  lapse  of 
from  thirty-five  to  forty  years,  of  opinion  that  it  was  well  for 
the  society,  and  for  us  as  members,  that  we  did  place  such  a 
construction  on  the  charge  given  us  and  the  pledge  we  assumed. 
It  added  much  to  our  estimate  of  the  privileges  to  which  we 
were  admitted.  The  consciousness  that  we  were  clothed  with 
a  great  trust,  to  preserve  the  dignity  of  a  body  that  was  over 
half  a  century  old,  and  self-governing  and  self-sustaining,  and 
the  confidence  that  information  of  our  slips  or  failures  as 
writers,  declaimers  or  debaters  would  never  reach  the  ears  of 
the  profanum  vulgus,  or  of  our  Philanthropic  college-mates, 
exerted  an  influence  among  and  over  us  that  was  at  once 
elevating  and  conservative. 

The  Society  being  divided  in  four  classes,  as  nearly  equal  in 
number  as  practicable,  new  members  being  assigned  to  one 
and  another  of  them  to  preserve  the  equality,  we  all  had  some 
duty  to  perform  once  ever)'  week,  except  the  College  Seniors, 
who  were  excused  from  declamation  and  writing  compositions, 
but  who  were  required  to  write  and  speak,  each,  one  oration 
each  session.  Friday  nights  were  devoted  to  debating  and 
the  Saturday  morning  exercises  to  declamation  and  reading 
compositions.  The  Seniors,  except  those  filling  offices  which 
made  their  presence  necessary,  were  required  to  attend  only 
on  the  nights  when  they  respective!}"  had  to  take  part  in  the 


The  Dialectic  Society.  ig 

debates,  and  half  of  them  were  privileged  to  use  the  Friday 
evenings  in  visiting  the  ladies  or  in  other  agreeable  pastime. 
As  our  numbers  grew,  the  Hall  became  so  crowded  that  the 
privilege  of  being  absent,  except  when  they  had  duties  to  per- 
form, was  extended  to  the  Juniors,  so  that  those  holding  no 
offices  requiring  attendance  were  compelled  to  attend  only 
once  a  week.  Space  in  the  Hall  was  economized  by  raised 
benches  arranged  amphitheatrically,  but  when  leading  offices 
were  to  be  filled  by  election,  or  other  matters  of  interest  were 
to  come  up,  they  were  nearly  overcrowded  in  my  day;  and 
soon  after  that,  the  erection  of  the  New  East  and  the  New 
West  buildings  was  recognized  as  a  necessity,  by  Faculty  and 
Trustees,  for  the  accommodation  of  the  two  societies.  Addi- 
tional dormitories  and  class-rooms  were  provided  by  this 
erection;  but  the  accommodation  of  the  societies  was,  I  opine, 
the  principal  consideration.  Such  was  the  estimate  of  the 
value  of  the  societies  to  the  institution  entertained  by  our 
Senatus  Academicus  and  the  Curator es  of  that  day  ! 

This  Society,  during  all  the  years  of  my  active  membership, 
was  certainly  an  admirably  managed  body.  The  best  men, 
those  most  faithful  to  college  and  to  Society  duties,  were 
generally  selected  to  fill  the  offices,  and  to  the  officers  was 
accorded  all  due  respect.  Order  was  enforced  by  fines  most) 
impartially  inflicted,  and  good  attention  was  almost  uniformly 
given  to  a  member  when  performing  any  duty.  To  those  of' 
us  who  made  any  effort  at  elocution  the  sympathetic  and 
indulgent  attention  of  our  fellows  was  an  inspiration  to  do 
our  best,  and  we  acquitted  ourselves  in  declamation  much 
better  than  in  the  chapel  before  the  Faculty,  or  in  the  class- 
room of  the  Professor  of  Rhetoric,  where  we  had  the  fear  of 
unsympathetic  criticism.  Many  of  the  older  members  fully 
recognized  in  the  exercises  of  the  Society  opportunities  of 
great  improvement  and  honestly  and  gladly  availed  them- 
selves of  them ;  while  we  young  and  diffident  lads  were 
improved  by  association  with  them,  and  encouraged  by  their 
example,  and  gradually  acquired  more  confidence  as  well  as 
experience.  It  is  not  too  much  to  say  that  many  acquired 
such  skill  in  debate  and  such  knowledge  of  parliamentary 
usage  during  my  day  here,  that  on  going  out  from  the  walls 


20  Historical  Sketches  of 

of  this  Society  they  were,  and  felt  themselves  to  be,  fully  able 
to  cope  with  older  men  in  the  arena  of  legislative  halls  in  this 
and  other  States.  The  most  practiced  and  skillful  debaters  of 
my  own  college  class,  in  this  Society,  will  serve  to  illustrate  this 
assertion.  One  of  them,  Thomas  Newton  Crumpler,  of  Surry, 
afterwards  of  Ashe,  as  a  member  of  our  House  of  Commons 
in  the  stormy  legislature  of  i860—  '61,  and  one  of  the  very 
youngest  men  in  that  body,  was  so  entirely  at  home  on  the 
floor  and  such  an  accomplished  dialectician  that  he  easily 
stepped  to  the  front  as  a  leader  among  the  opponents  of 
Secession,  and  was  a  worthy  foeman  of  the  talented  leader  of 
the  Secession  forces,  the  Hon.  Samuel  J.  Person,  who  had 
acquired  much  experience  of  men  and  affairs  by  service  on 
the  Bench  of  our  Superior  Courts  and  as  a  Legislator,  and 
who  was  in  every  way  an  able  man.  He,  by  the  way,  had 
graduated  with  the  highest  honors  of  his  class  from  this 
University,  and  had  been  an  honored  leader  in  this  Society 
near  ten  years  before  Crumpler  began  his  career  here.  What 
a  gallant  fellow  Crumpler  was,  and  how  near  he  came  to  being 
a  genius !  Well  do  I  remember  him  as  he  looked  when  he 
first  made  his  appearance  as  a  Freshman.  Tall  he  was,  and 
slim,  gaunt  and  sallow-faced,  careless  in  his  dress  and  scorning 
all  adventitious  aids  to  good  looks.  He  had  been  poorly  pre- 
pared for  college  and  apparently  had  little  desire  to  excel  in 
the  class-room,  but  he  soon  made  a  mark  in  this  Society  that 
was  phenomenal.  Possessed  of  a  remarkable  memory  and  well 
read  in  general  literature,  he  was  a  fluent  talker,  and  he  soon 
developed  a  great  talent  for  debate.  To  the  members  of  the 
higher  classes,  who  had  made  themselves  debaters  by  hard  work 
and  longer  experience,  this  gawky  youth  from  the  hills  of  Surry 
was  a  veritable  "  singed  cat!'  In  him  the  very  best  of  them  found 
his  match.  With  head  thrown  back  and  with  keen  eye  and 
thin,  prominent  nose,  he  looked  like  a  game-cock  ;  and  his 
flowing  words  and  easy  action  were  quite  electrifying  to  us 
diffident  boys  who  had  helped  him,  during  the  week,  to  pass 
muster  in  the  recitation-room.  He  was  poor  and  unable  to 
complete  his  college  course.  He  made  the  law  his  profession, 
but  I  doubt  not  he  was  much  more  fond  of  contests  in  State 
cases  before  a  jury  than  of  the  patient  labor  necessary  to  make

a  jurist.  Politics  were  suited  to  his  bent  and  disposition,  and 
he  would  have  been  a  very  conspicuous  figure  in  the  State  had 
he  lived.  The  mark  he  made  in  i860  and  1861  fully  justifies 
me  in  saying  this.  Though  an  ardent  advocate  of  the  Union, 
he  volunteered  early,  at  the  call  of  his  State,  when  the  war 
was  inevitable,  and  having  attained  the  rank  of  major,  he  fell 
in  one  of  the  battles  before  Richmond,  and  fills  a  hero's  grave. 
I  alluded  to  his  memory  as  being  remarkable.  It  was  said  of 
him  when  in  college  that  once,  on  a  wager,  he  committed  to 
memory  one  side  of  a  country  newspaper  in  the  time  it  took 
him  to  read  it  over.  And  I  remember  that  one  morning  just 
before  an  ante-breakfast  recitation  in  Livy,  I  read  the  lesson 
over  to  him  once,  and  when  called  up  to  recite,  by  Professor 
Ashbel  G.  Brown,  he  glibly  repeated  the  English,  word  for 
word,  of  a  paragraph  as  I  had  translated  it  for  him,  though  I 
had  a  shrewd  suspicion  that  he  could  not  have  applied  one- 
half  the  words  to  the  corresponding  Latin. 

Another  prominent  debater  in  my  class,  as  different  in  habits 
of  study,  etc.,  from  Crumpler  as  one  young  man  well  could  be 
from  another,  was  Leonidas  John  Merritt,  of  Chatham.  I  can 
hardly  mention  his  name  without  bowing  my  head  in  respect  to 
his  memory.  Well  prepared  for  college  by  that  great  teacher  of 
the  past  generation,  William  J.  Bingham,  and  over  the  age  of 
twenty-one  years  when  he  first  entered  the  doors  of  the  Uni- 
versity and  of  this  Society,  he  was  attentive  to  every  duty  and 
faithfully  availed  himself  of  all  the  advantages  offered  here. 
He  did  not  compete  for  the  first  honors  of  the  class  in  the 
college  course,  but  he  easily  took  and  kept  his  place  in  the 
second  rank.  In  the  Society  he  had  no  superior  in  our  class. 
In  composition  and  declamation  he  did  his  best,  and  for  the 
debate  he  was  always  fully  prepared.  Earnest  and  strong,  he 
always  spoke  to  the  point,  and  his  ringing  voice  never  failed 
to  command  interest,  and  if  the  decision  of  the  query  was  not 
in  his  favor,  it  was  from  no  fault  of  his.  He,  too,  became 
a  lawyer,  and  in  the  four  or  five  years  he  was  at  the  bar 
gave  much  promise  of  success.  That  he  impressed  himself 
greatly  on  the  people  of  his  native  county  is  apparent  from  the 
fact  that  when  all  the  counties  of  the  State  were  sending  their 
very  best  men,  he  was  sent  by  Chatham  to  the  Convention 


22  Historical  Sketches  of 

of  1S61-62 — probably  the  ablest  body  of  men  ever  assembled 
in  the  State.  One  of  the  youngest  members  of  that  conven- 
tion, he  did  not  aspire  to  leadership  with  Ruffin  and  Graham 
and  Badger  and  other  like  statesmen  of  age  and  experience 
there  assembled,  but  he  so  bore  himself  as  to  command  the 
confidence  and  respect  of  all.  He  might  honorably  have 
remained  in  civil  life,  but  he  would  not  allow  other  young  men 
to  do  the  fighting  while  he  occupied  a  seat  in  the  Legislature 
or  continued  to  perform  the  duties  of  the  office  of  Clerk  and 
Master  in  Equity  for  his  county,  which  he  held  with  credit 
to  himself  at  the  breaking  out  of  the  war ;  but  in  the  spring  of 
1862  he  went  to  the  front  as  first  lieutenant  of  a  company  from 
Chatham,  and  with  some  others  of  our  best  and  bravest,  who 
had  contended  with  him  in  honorable  rivalry  here,  fell  at 
Malvern  Hill.  Take  him  all  in  all,  I  thought  him  the  most 
promising  member  of  our  class  of  sixty,  and  I  was  so  fond  of 
him  personally  that  I  grieved  for  him  almost  as  an  older 
brother. 

Another  member,  more  ambitious  than  either  Crumpler  or 
Merritt,  the  hardest  student  of  our  class,  by  the  manner  of  his 
performance  of  Society  duties,  gave  promise  of  success  as  a 
professional  man  and  politician.  He  was  one  of  our  most 
elaborate  speakers,  and  the  gravity  of  his  demeanor  gave 
weight  to  what  he  spoke ;  I  refer  to  the  late  William  Lafay- 
ette Scott,  of  Guilford.  He  became  a  lawyer  of  high  standing 
at  the  Greensboro  bar,  and  in  the  army  (nearly  all  of  my  class- 
mates took  an  active  part  in  the  war  between  the  States)  he 
rose  to  the  rank  of  lieutenant-colonel  of  a  regiment.  After 
reconstruction  he  espoused  the  Republican  side  in  politics 
and  was  nominated  for  a  seat  in  Congress.  He  made  a  vig- 
orous contest  with  Hon.  James  M.  Leach,  one  of  our  most 
successful  popular  leaders,  and  was  defeated.  Soon  there- 
after, and  probably  because  of  the  strain  of  that  canvass,  he 
was  struck  with  paralysis,  and  lingering  a  few  months,  died. 
Well  do  I  remember  the  last  time  I  ever  saw  him  !  I  was  in 
Greensboro  on  professional  business  and  met  him  on  the  street. 
He  was  on  crutches  and  a  wreck  of  his  former  self.  Because 
I  was  decidedly  on  the  other  side  in  politics,  and  the  feeling 
between    the   parties  was   then   very  intense,  he   hardly  ex- 


The  Dialectic  Society.  23 

pected  my  greeting  to  be  as  cordial  as  of  old.  But  seeing  my 
old  classmate  and  friend  in  that  condition,  I  forgot  all  political 
differences  and  grasped  his  hand  and  spoke  to  him  with  the 
affectionate  warmth  that  existed  between  us  when  we  parted 
here  twenty  years  before.  The  greeting  was  too  much  for  his 
shattered  nervous  condition  and  he  burst  into  tears.  I,  too, 
was  deeply  moved,  and,  I  had  almost  said,  we  were  boys 
together  again.  But  I  had  never  known  him  as  a  boy. 
He  was  of  age  when  he  came  to  college,  and  seven  or  eight 
years  my  senior.  I  had  had  better  advantages  in  boyhood  ; 
but  the  contest  for  the  first  honors  of  the  class  between  one  of 
mature  years  and  a  delicate  boy  of  fourteen  was  an  unequal 
one.  However,  we  came  out  at  the  end  of  our  first  session 
neck-and-neck,  as  the  racing  men  say,  and  that  he  spoke  the 
valedictory  at  our  graduation  was  due  to  the  fact  that  he  was 
more  lucky  in  throwing  high  dice  than  I  and  the  others  who 
took  "  first  mite,"  as  the  phrase  then  was,  with  him.  But  he 
and  the  other  older  members  had  greatly  the  advantage  of  us 
boys  in  the  contests  of  the  Society.  We  had  not  the  general 
information,  the  knowledge  of  the  world,  the  self-confidence, 
or  the  capacity  for  labor  to  enable  us  to  contend  with  them  in 
the  arena  of  debate  and  succeed  in  the  class-room  too. 

Another  member  of  my  class  who  gave  promise  in  the 
Society  of  his  success  in  after-life  was  Joseph  A.  Engelhard,- 
who  died  in  the  year  1877,  after  reaching  the  high  office  of 
Secretary  of  State.  He  came  here  from  Yale  College  during 
our  Freshman  year,  and  was  a  leader  among  us  from  the 
beginning.  He,  too,  was  of  maturer  years  than  most  of  us, 
being  but  little  younger  than  Merritt  and  Scott,  and,  like  them, 
while  he  was  a  successful  student,  especially  in  mathematics, 
he  took  greater  interest  in  Society  duties.  His  compositions 
were  carefully  prepared,  and  in  the  debates  he  was  vigorous 
and  pointed.  In  our  Sophomore  year  I  succeeded  him  as 
secretary  of  the  Society,  and  I  remember,  with  a  little  shame 
even  now,  the  contrast  between  him  as  a  good  and  ready  pen- 
man and  myself.  His  chirography  was  neat  and  manly,  while 
mine ! — well,  the  less  I  say  about  that  the  better.  He  was  a 
Mississippian  while  here,  but  fortunately  for  North  Carolina, 
he  fell  in  love  with  one  of  the  belles  who  made  our  Com- 


24  Historical  Sketches  of 

mencements  attractive,  and,  concluding  to  settle  in  this  State, 
he  was  married  a  little  over  a  year  after  our  graduation,  I 
being  present  and  assisting  as  one  of  his  "  best  men."  He 
became  a  lawyer,  and  was  Clerk  and  Master  in  Equity  at 
Tarboro,  where  his  home  was  when  the  war  came  on.  He 
was  adjutant-general  of  Branch's,  afterwards  Lane's,  brigade, 
with  the  rank  of  major,  and  made  reputation  as  a  very 
efficient  officer.  Abandoning  the  law  for  journalism  after  the 
war,  he  soon  became  editor  of  the  Wilmington  Journal,  a  very 
influential  Democratic  paper,  and  in  that  capacity  he  probably 
did  as  much  as  any  other  man  in  the  contest  against  the  cor- 
ruption attendant  upon  reconstruction.  His  nomination  for 
the  office  of  Secretary  of  State  by  the  Democratic  party  in 
1876  was  in  recognition  of  these  services,  and  his  able  and 
vigorous  campaign  is  still  fresh  in  our  memories.  Many  of 
us  thought  that  this  success  was  but  a  step  to  still  higher 
honors. 

I  will  be  pardoned  for  making  special  mention  of  another  of 
my  classmates  by  name.  Samuel  Spencer  Jackson,  of  Pitts- 
boro,  one  of  our  successful  competitors  for  college  honors, 
and  perhaps  the  best  linguist  among  us,  the  result  of  a  four 
years'  course  with  Mr.  Bingham,  was  a  young  man  of  striking 
appearance  and  superior  gifts.  I  remember  how  he  impressed 
me  when  we  first  met  in  July,  1850.  Six  feet  high,  straight, 
of  faultless  figure,  handsome  face  and  fine  address,  and  with  a 
reputation  for  scholarship  that  had  preceded  him  for  months, 
the  idea  that  I  should  compete  with  him  for  the  honors  of  the 
class,  as  my  friends  had  told  me  I  was  expected  to  do,  seemed 
to  me  the  height  of  presumption.  He  had  an  uncommonly  fine 
voice,  and  was  easily,  I  thought,  the  best  declaimer  of  the 
class.  Never  did  I  hear  within  our  Society  walls  a  finer  piece 
of  elocution  than  his,  once,  in  a  eulogy  on  Hamilton.  Strange 
to  say,  however,  he  avoided  as  much  as  possible  the  performance 
of  Society  duties.  He  was  averse  to  composition,  and  often 
paid  fines  rather  than  write  an  essay,  and  if  he  took  part  in  the 
debates  at  all,  he  made  no  effort  to  do  so  in  a  manner  worthy 
of  his  ability.  Having  graduated,  he  studied  law,  and  was 
one  of  my  fellow-tutors  here ;  and  an  admirable  teacher  of 
Greek,,   his   department,   he  was.     He  and    I   were   the  first 


The  Dialectic  Society.  25 

LL.  B.'s  (Bachelors  of  Laws)  of  this  institution,  and  soon 
after  obtaining  this  degree  he  retired  from  his  Greek  chair  to 
practice  law.  As  a  lawyer  he  was  well  versed  in  its  principles 
and  a  very  safe  counsellor ;  but  he  sedulously  avoided  the 
contests  of  the  court-house,  and  taking  upon  himself  a  full 
share  in  the  preparation  of  his  causes,  he  made  his  partner  or 
other  associates  do  nearly  all  the  speaking  before  judge  and 
jury.  Had  he  resolutely  thrown  off  his  diffidence  and  striven 
to  succeed  in  the  Society  as  he  did  in  the  recitation-room  here, 
he  would  soon  have  developed  decided  forensic  ability  and 
become  one  of  our  foremost  orators.  Instead  of  being  ad- 
mired as  he  was  for  his  physical  and  intellectual  gifts  in  the 
limited  circle  which  had  opportunity  to  judge  of  his  worth, 
he  would  have  been  the  object  of  admiration  throughout  the 
limits  of  the  State.  We  who  knew  his  ability  could  not  but 
mournfully  think,  when  we  heard  the  sad  tidings  of  his  death 
ten  or  twelve  years  ago,  of  what  he  might  have  been. 

Time  would  fail  me  were  I  to  speak  of  my  other  fellow- 
members  here,  living  and  dead,  who  are  worthy  of  more  than 
a  passing  notice.  I  would  like  to  tell  of  James  A.  Wright,  of 
Wilmington,  too  young  and  fun-loving  here  to  show  the  great 
promise  he  did  after  he  became  a  man  and  entered  upon  life's 
duties  in  his  native  city;  and  of  the  handsome  Delano  W. 
Husted,  of  Raleigh,  who  cared  not  for  the  honors  of  the  class- 
room or  Society,  but  being  a  dilletante  reader,  wrote  elaborate 
compositions  because  he  liked  it,  the  leader  in  harmless  mis- 
chief; and  of  William  L.  Alexander,  of  Lincoln,  a  noble 
fellow,  one  of  our  first-honor  men  and  my  fellow-tutor  here, 
and  successively  a  civil  engineer  and  lawyer.  Wright  and 
Husted  fell  like  Crumpler  and  Merritt  in  the  battles  before 
Richmond  in  1862,  the  former  at  the  head  of  a  company  from 
New  Planover,  and  the  latter  a  lieutenant  in  a  regiment  from 
Alabama  (whither  he  had  removed  to  practice  law),  and 
Alexander  lingered  and  died  from  wounds  received  in  one  of 
the  battles  of  the  West,  at  the  head  of  a  company,  in  distant 
Texas  years  after  our  battle-flags  were  forever  furled.  These 
too  were  my  classmates  and  friends.  The  victims  of  the  war 
surely  were  of  our  best. 

Eulogies  on  the  living  are  seldom  in  good  taste.     Even 


26  Historical  Sketches  of 

of  our  great  senator,  the  peerless  Zebulon  B.  Vance,  of  Bun- 
combe, who  possesses  the  confidence,  admiration  and  love 
of  the  people  as  no  other  North  Carolinian  has  ever  done 
before — three  times  our  governor,  and  by  common  consent 
the  great  war  governor  of  the  South — of  him,  though  I 
am  personally  under  the  greatest  of  obligations  to  him  for 
taking  me  out  of  the  army  and  making  me  his  private  secre- 
tary when  I  was  utterly  broken  down  in  health,  and  being  a 
good  friend  to  me  ever  since — of  him,  I  can  with  propriety  now 
say  but  little  more  than  that,  to  my  knowledge,  while  an  active 
member  of  this  Society  when  a  law  student,  and  taking  a  partial 
course  in  other  studies  in  185 1  and  '52,  he  exhibited  that 
ability,  wit  and  versatility,  that  quickness  at  repartee,  that 
fidelity  to  duty,  that  knowledge  of  himself  and  of  others  that 
made  him  in  less  than  eight  years  a  leading  figure  in  the 
State  and  the  great  man  he  is  to-day.  I  wish  I  could  present 
to  you  a  scene  here  once  when  his  humor  and  witty  retorts 
upon  his  adversaries  got  the  better  of  the  usual  decorum  of  the 
Society,  and  the  treasury  was  replenished  by  fines  for  involun- 
tary tittering  and  suppressed  laughter  all  over  the  hall. 

And  because  they  are  still  living  I  cannot  eulogize  some  of 
our  other  leaders  who  are  still  lingering  on  the  stage  of  life — 
such  men  as  Francis  E.  Shober,  then  of  Salem,  now  of  Salis- 
bury; Alfred  M.  Waddell,  then  of  Hillsboro,  now  of  Wilming- 
ton, and  longo  intervallo,  as  to  time,  Clement  Dowd,  of  Moore, 
now  of  Charlotte,  who  have  been  honored  members  of  the 
Federal  House  of  Representatives,  and  are  now  enjoying  in 
more  private  stations  the  respect  of  their  fellow-citizens  ;  and 
Jas.  Jeremiah  Slade,  of  Georgia,  who  here  exhibited  the  quali- 
ties which  have  made  him  a  leading  educator  of  his  State ;  and 
James  W.  Wilson,  then  of  Hillsboro,  now  of  Morganton,  who 
has  made  a  reputation  as  a  civil  engineer  of  which  his  Alma 
Mater  may  well  be  proud,  and  who  as  a  legislator  at  Raleigh 
has  been  influential  in  advancing  the  best  interests  of  the  State  ; 
and  Col.  John  D.  Taylor,  of  Wilmington,  who  at  his  gradua- 
tion in  1853  delivered  a  valedictory  in  this  Society  so  full  of 
noble  sentiments  and  expressed  in  such  pathetic  language  that 
many  of  us  were  melted  in  tears,  and  who,  ten  years  after- 
wards, at  the  head  of  a  regiment  lost  an  arm  in  defense  of  the 


The  Dialectic  Society.  27 

Southern  cause  ;  and  E.  Hayne  Davis,  of  Iredell,  who  likewise 
lost  an  arm  in  battle  as  captain  in  defense  of  that  cause;  and 
Robert  B.  Johnston,  of  Haywood,  now  of  Asheville,  also  a 
one-armed  ex- Confederate  captain ;  and  Henry  R.  Shorter, 
of  Alabama,  who  is  now  at  the  head  of  the  railroad  com- 
mission of  his  State ;  and  Theophilus  H.  Moore,  of  Person, 
now  of  Florida,  Theodore  Whitfield,  of  Mississippi,  now  of 
the  city  of  Richmond,  and  S.  Paxson  Watters,  of  Wilmington, 
now  of  Culpeper,  Va.,  and  James  B.  Avirett,  of  Onslow,  now 
of  Maryland,  and  Alexander  D.  Betts,  of  Wake,  now  of  the 
N.  C.  Methodist  Conference,  useful  and  respected  ministers  of 
the  Gospel;  and  Dr.  Richard  H.  Lewis,  of  Chapel  Hill,  now 
president  of  Judson  College,  Hendersonville,  the  successful 
instructor  of  the  young,  and  his  brother,  Wm.  Gaston  Lewis, 
now  of  Goldsboro,  whose  ability  as  a  civil  engineer,  backed  by 
rare  energy  and  indomitable  pluck,  made  him  one  of  the  best 
of  Gen.  Lee's  brigadiers ;  and  David  G.  Worth,  of  Ashboro, 
now  of  Wilmington,  whose  success  as  a  merchant  has  not 
made  his  old  friends  forget  that  he  gave  promise  here  of  being 
an  eloquent  advocate  or  public  speaker ;  and  John  K.  Ruffin, 
of  Alamance,  now  of  Wilson,  Wm.  J.  Love,  of  Wilmington, 
Jas.  W.  Ewing,  of  Montgomery,  and  Joseph  Graham,  of  Hills- 
boro,  now  of  Charlotte,  leading  physicians  in  the  communities 
where  they  live ;  and  Wm.  H.  Hall,  of  Wilmington,  now  a 
successful  physician  in  New  York — "  Billy  Hall,"  as  we  affec- 
tionately called  him,  the  first  gentleman  of  his  day,  because, 
while  polite  as  could  be  to  his  fellows  and  the  ladies,  he  had 
the  courage  to  be  polite  and  respectful  to  the  Faculty  under 
all  circumstances ;  and  John  D.  Shaw,  of  Richmond,  Marma- 
duke  S.  Robins,  of  Randolph,  and  John  W.  Graham,  of  Hills- 
boro,  all  in  the  first  rank  at  the  bar  of  this  State ;  and  Wm.  J. 
Montgomery,  of  Montgomery  Co.,  now  of  Concord,  recently 
resigned,  with  the  regrets  of  the  profession,  from  our  Superior 
Court  Bench,  and  Alphonso  C.  Avery,  of  Burke,  who  has 
lately  ascended  from  that  Bench  to  the  Supreme  Bench  of  the 
State ;  and  Alexander  Mclver,  quite  the  equal  of  the  best 
scholar  in  his  class,  late  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction, 
and  Robert  Bingham,  of  Orange,  now  of  the  Bingham  School, 
many  years  his  junior  and  graduating,  with  first  honors  too, 


2S  Historical  Sketches  of 

several  classes  below  him,  the  most  successful  schoolteacher  at 
the  South  ;  and  L.  R.  Waddell  and  A.  H.  Merritt,  of  Chatham, 
the  former  now  of  Smithfield,  and  John  M.  Galloway,  of  Rock- 
ingham, once  useful  as  legislators  and  now  useful  citizens — 
and  others  still  living.  And  long  may  they  all  live,  growing 
in  all  that  makes  age  respectable  and  honorable,  until  they 
too  shall  join  the  majority  on  the  other  side  of  the  river. 

I  wish  I  had  time  to  speak  at  length  of  others  of  my  com- 
rades who  have  gone  to  their  rest;  of  Benjamin  S.  Hedrick,  of 
Davidson,  who  gave  up  a  professorship  here,  before  the  war, 
rather  than  conceal  his  opinions,  which  were  adverse  to  slavery, 
and  who  filled  at  his  death  an  honorable  place  in  the  Patent 
Office  at  Washington ;  and  James  A.  Patton,  of  Asheville, 
Alexander  R.  Smith,  of  Cumberland,  Leonidas  F.  Siler,  of 
Macon,  afterwards  a  Methodist  minister,  and  James  H.  Colton, 
of  Cumberland,  afterwards  a  Presbyterian  clergyman — all,  like 
Hedrick,  leading  scholars  in  their  classes,  but  taken  away  by 
death  too  soon  to  fulfil  their  promise  of  usefulness  in  the 
world ;  and  the  polished  and  popular  Rufus  L.  Patterson,  of 
Caldwell,  late  of  Salem ;  and  John  T.  Taylor,  of  Granville, 
who,  as  captain,  gave  his  life  to  the  Confederate  cause ;  and 
Wm.  Bingham,  a  first-honor  man,  who  made  a  name  second 
to  none  as  a  teacher  and  was  the  author  of  text-books  for 
classical  students  of  great  and  widely  recognized  merit ;  and 
Junius  I.  Scales,  of  Rockingham,  late  of  Greensboro,  as  true  a 
man  as  I  ever  knew,  as  gallant  when  a  youth  here  as  when  he 
led  a  Mississippi  regiment  as  its  colonel  in  the  Western  army, 
or  contended,  a  few  years  ago,  in  our  State  Senate  for  the  best 
interests  of  the  State,  in  spite  of  a  constitution  shattered  by  the 
hardships  of  prison  life  at  the  North  long  years  before.  He 
too  should  go  on  the  roll  of  honor,  to  be  found  on  the  tablets 
erected  to  the  Confederate  dead  of  the  University  over  the 
rostrum  in  our  beautiful  Memorial  Hall.  I  might  go  on  and 
on,  all  night  long,  telling  of  our  living  and  dead  members  of 
my  day  here.  But  before  I  stop  I  must  make  more  than  a 
passing  allusion  to  another  of  our  members  of  that  day — one 
long  since  dead,  the  more  is  the  pity.  James  M.  Spencer, 
Magnus  Spencer,  as  we  all  knew  him,  of  Alabama,  was  the 
most  influential  member  of  the  Society  in  my  day;  and  his 


The  Dialectic  Society.  29 

influence  was  always  for  good.  He  was  in  the  class  ahead  of 
mine  and  had  attained  his  majority  before  he  came  to  college. 
Quite  six  feet  high  and  broad-shouldered,  he  was  a  man 
among  boys.  A  lock  of  white  amidst  his  brown  hair 
attracted  one's  observation,  but  it  was  forgotten  in  the  con- 
templation of  his  fine  Roman  face,  clear  hazel  eye  and  benevo- 
lent expression.  He  was  a  hard  student  and  voracious  reader 
of  both  poetry  and  prose ;  he  was  a  first-honor  man  throughout 
his  course  and  seemed  to  have  Shakespeare  and  other  English 
classics  at  his  tongue's  end ;  he  was  so  manly,  so  kind  and  so 
true  that  he  could  not  but  be  a  leader  in  college ;  and  in  this 
Society,  where  we  heard  him  in  the  performance  of  some  duty 
every  week,  the  admiration  he  inspired  in  us  younger  members 
approached  hero-worship.  His  voice  was  full  and  flexible 
and  its  tones  were  often  very  pathetic.  He  seemed  to  us  the 
master  of  pleasant  satire  and  of  ridicule  without  malice.  I 
doubt  whether  Webster  at  his  best  ever  swayed  his  hearers  in 
the  Senate  of  the  United  States  as  Magnus  Spencer,  in  some 
of  our  debates,  swayed  this  Society.  His  home  being  far 
distant  and  the  means  of  travel  in  that  direction  by  no  means 
what  they  are  now,  he  generally  spent  his  vacations,  winter  and 
summer,  here,  and  in  his  room  on  North  passage,  second  floor, 
of  the  Old  West  building  he  was  always  accessible  to  others 
who  remained  here,  for  counsel  or  friendly  conversation.  His 
precept  and  example  did  much  for  those  who  were  without 
the  restraints  of  study  and  a  watchful  Faculty.  Blessed  is  the 
lot  and  green  should  ever  be  the  memory  of  the  collegian 
who  has  the  will  and  ability  to  exert  such  an  influence  for  the 
right  and  the  noble  as  did  he.  Had  he  not  died  early  there  is 
no  telling  what  he  might  have  been.  I  venture  the  assertion 
that  James  K.  Polk,  one  of  our  members,  who  became  Presi- 
dent of  the  United  States,  was  not  a  greater  man  here  than  was 
Magnus  Spencer. 

My  sketch  is  too  long  already  and  I  must  close.  Of  the 
275  or  300  young  men  who  were  active  members  of  this 
Society  at  one  time  or  another  with  me,  over  ten  per  cent  are 
on  the  roll  of  the  Confederate  dead  and  fill  heroes'  graves. 
How  many  more  died  after  the  war  from  disease  or  the  seeds  of 
disease  contracted  in  camp  or  on  the  march  we  can  never  tell.

Perhaps  two-thirds  of  them  all  have  gone  to  their  final  account, 
leaving  a  diminishing  few  to  think  of  their  virtues  and  their 
faults.  Their  virtues  may  seem  greater  and  their  faults  less 
than  they  were  ;  but  the  record  of  my  memory  is  clear  that  the 
dignity  and  usefulness  of  this,  our  beloved  Society,  did  not 
suffer  from  their  or  our  hands.  We  found  and  kept  the 
standard  of  character  and  behavior  high.  On  the  whole,  we 
guarded  the  honor  of  this  now  venerable  Society  as  the  vestals 
of  old  did  their  sacred  fires,  and  leaving  its  hall,  we  handed 
over  our  inheritance  to  those  who  succeeded  us  untarnished 
and  unimpaired.  We  of  the  period  from  1850  to  1854  loved, 
and  those  of  us  who  are  left  still  love  the  Dialectic  Society, 
venerabile  nomen  !  And  we  pray  you  young  men  who  have 
taken  our  places  to  be  watchful  and  careful  that  its  honor,  its 
dignity  and  its  usefulness  do  not  suffer  in  your  keeping. 

R.  H.  Battle. 

From  1854  to  1861  the  Society  continued  in  unabated  pros- 
perity and  usefulness.  The  large  increase  in  members  ren- 
dered needful  certain  constitutional  changes,  and  a  larger  hall 
became  an  imperative  necessity.  The  fine  hall  in  the  New 
West  building  was  occupied  in  the  spring  of  1861.  Formal 
dedicatory  ceremonies  were  intended  to  be  held,  but  something 
interfered  to  postpone,  and  eventually  the  outbreak  of  the  war 
prevented  their  taking  place.  A  large  debt  was  incurred 
for  the  furnishing  of  the  hall,  which  was  never  entirely  paid 
off  till  some  years  after  the  reopening  in  1875. 

During  the  war  the  Society,  with  the  University,  was  in  a  very 
bad  state.  The  members  were  few ;  at  one  time  there  were 
not  enough  to  fill  the  offices  without  making  use  of  Freshmen. 
The  general  spirit  of  disorganization  affected  the  Society 
painfully.  The  officers  grew  careless — the  secretary  often 
copying  the  minutes  hurriedly  in  pencil.  The  debates  became 
towards  the  last  little  more  than  farces.  The  condition  of  things 
was  deplorable,  but  certainly  it  could  not  be  otherwise.  All 
the  students  who  were  old  enough  went  to  the  front.  None 
but  striplings  and  those  incapacitated  from  service  remained 
to  study  ;  and  the  intense  excitement  of  the  time  demoralized 
even  them.     It  was  impossible  to  keep  up  the  esprit  du  corps  of 


The  Dialectic  Society.  31 

a  society  which  had  dwindled  in  three  years  from  two  hundred 
members  to  less  than  twenty.  The  handful  deserve  credit  for 
keeping  the  body  in  existence  at  all. 

With  the  close  of  the  war  members  increased.  Something 
of  the  old  spirit  returned,  but  the  wretched  condition  of  the 
State  and  the  approach  of  the  carpet-bagger  forbade  any 
expectation  of  real  and  immediate  progress.  In  1868  the  end 
came.  With  the  University,  the  Dialectic  Society  ceased  to 
exist  when  the  old  Board  of  Trustees  and  the  old  Faculty 
were  dismissed  from  office  for  the  crime  of  not  adhering  in 
politics  to  the  dominant  party.

THE  REORGANIZATION  OF  THE  SOCIETY. 
By  Wm.  B.  Phillips,  Ph.  D., 

Professor  of  Metallurgy  in  the  University  of  Alabama. 

When  the  University  was  reorganized  in  1875,  great  interest 
was  naturally  felt  in  the  two  Literary  Societies.  A  new  gen- 
eration of  college  boys  had  grown  up  since  the  unfortunate 
collapse  in  1868;  in  fact,  one  may  say  two  generations, 
counting  each  four  years  as  a  college  generation.  Some  of 
them  knew  Joseph,  and  some,  alas  !  like  the  Egyptians  of  old, 
knew  him  not. 

That  some  of  the  old  Faculty  and  of  the  old  students  had  an 
abiding  faith  in  the  resuscitation  of  the  famous  Dialectic 
Society  is  shown  by  the  fact  that  on  May  29,  1868,  a  Perma- 
nent Committee  on  Reorganization  was  appointed,  consisting 
of  the  Hon.  William  H.  Battle,  Professor  Charles  Phillips  and 
Hon.  Thomas  M.  Argo.  This  committee  was  of  the  nature  of 
the  Society  itself,  for  Judge  Battle  was  declared  president, 
Professor  Phillips,  vice-president,  and  T.  M.  Argo,  secretary. 
It  appears  to  have  considered  it  unnecessary  to  assist  in  the 
reorganization  of  the  Society  during  the  dismal  period  inter- 
vening between  1868  and  1875,  and  justly  so,  for  a  literary 
society  without  a  literary  atmosphere  is  like  the  anhydrous 
moon,  dead. 

It  is  not  my  purpose  at  this  time  to  speak  of  what  the 
Society  was  during  this  unhappy  period,  for  I  have  no  per- 
sonal knowledge  of  it.  Suffice  it  to  say  that  it  seems  to  have 
shared  in  the  general  debility,  and  finally  to  have  succumbed 
to  its  environment.  No  other  fate  could  have  been  at  the 
time  more  appropriate,  for  the  University  was  in  the  hands  of 
aliens  and  strangers,  unrecognized  by  the  best  element  of  the 
commonwealth,  and  scorned  even  by  the  colored  janitor. 
Its  cup  of  sorrow  was  full  to  overflowing,  and  nothing 
remained  but  to  drain  it  to  the  dregs,  turn  sadly  away  and 
refuse  to  be  comforted. 


The  Dialectic  Society.  33 

The  Dialectic  Society  had  always  borne  herself  proudly, 
numbering  among  her  children  some  of  the  best  and  wisest  of 
men,  and  cherished  by  them  as  an  aged  mother.  Aged,  yet 
vigorous,  venerable,  yet  full  of  power,  stately  as  a  queen,  yet 
kind  and  condescending  to  all  who  came  to  her  with  the 
magic  shibboleth  upon  their  lips,  she  turned  away  from  those 
who  knew  nothing  of  her  past  glories,  and  cared  less. 

One  potent  reason  why  the  University  and,  with  her,  the 
two  societies  came  so  soon  to  grief  after  the  years  iS6y-6S, 
was  because  the  students  and  the  Faculty  were  not  imbued 
with  the  enthusiasm  which  comes  from  esprit  du  corps,  from 
the  knowledge  of  the  great  achievements  of  the  past  and  the 
steadfast  determination  to  maintain  the  dignity  and  honor  so 
dearly  purchased.  Take  the  catalogues  of  the  years  from 
1869  to  1872,  read  the  names  of  the  Faculty  and  of  the  stu- 
dents, and  then  say  whether  esprit  du  corps  should  not  rather 
be  esprit  du  corpse. 

There  were  some  notable  and  honorable  exceptions,  but  they 
serve  to  render  the  backgrouud  still  more  dismal.  The  end 
soon  came,  and  in  i8/2-'73  the  University  was  closed,  much 
to  the  gratification  of  those  who  loved  the  State  and  who 
desired  to  see  the  instruction  of  its  youth  in  the  hands  of  its 
own  sons. 

In  1875  it  was  reopened,  chiefly  through  the  unselfish  and 
untiring  devotion  of  one  man,  who  for  the  past  thirteen  years  has 
presided  with  most  unusual  ability  over  its  fortunes,  the  best  part 
of  whose  life  has  been  freely  and  lovingly  given  to  his  Alma 
Mater,  and  who  deserves,  as  but  few  men  do,  that  monument 
more  durable  and  far  more  costly  than  brass  or  marble — the 
love  and  respect  of  his  fellow-men.  It  is  unnecessary  in  this 
hall  to  speak  his  name,  for  wherever  the  conflict  over  the 
University  has  waged  most  fiercely  there  indeed  has  been 
heard  the  voice  of  Battle,  drowned  only  by  the  shouts  of 
victory.  Fellow-members,  I  am  not  given  to  excessive  praise 
nor  to  extravagant  speech,  but  I  would  not  discharge  the  full 
measure  of  my  duty  here  to-night  were  I  to  allow  this  oppor- 
tunity to  pass  without  asserting  that,  in  my  opinion,  this 
reunion  of  the  Dialectic  Society,  here,  at  the  resuscitated  and 
rejuvenated  University  of  North  Carolina,  is,  with  all  that  it

means,  due  more  to  Kemp  P.  Battle  than  to  any  other  man. 
"  Judge  ye  this  day  what  I  say  !  " 

Before  recounting  briefly  the  history  of  the  Society  for  the 
first  two  years  after  the  reorganization,  it  is  well  that  reference 
should  have  been  made  to  the  necessity  of  the  resuscitation 
and  the  means  that  were  adopted.  As  to  the  first  enough  has 
been  said  to  enable  us  to  judge  of  the  events  of  those  days 
quietly ;  as  to  the  second  it  may  be  said  with  equal  brevity 
that  the  University  was  rehabilitated,  and  with  it  the  Dialectic 
Society,  by  the  liberality  of  some  of  its  friends.  The  fund  of 
$13,000  which  was  used  in  repairing  the  buildings,  etc.,  was 
subscribed  by  private  citizens.  The  State  has  never  refunded 
the  money,  and,  indeed,  has  never  been  asked  to  do  so.  When 
the  buildings  were  declared  ready  the  students  came  and  took 
possession  of  rooms  which  had  been  rendered  habitable,  in  an 
institution  owned  by  the  State,  through  the  benevolence  of 
private  citizens.  The  State  would  not  repair  its  own  property, 
and  that  the  students  had  a  roof  over  their  heads  and  doors 
and  windows  in  their  rooms  was  due  not  to  the  State  but  to 
private  citizens. 

Comment  is  unnecessary.  The  reorganization  of  the  Uni- 
versity was  rendered  possible  by  the  generosity  of  its  old 
students,  and  as  the  two  societies  are  parts  of  the  University, 
they  too  owed  their  new  birth  to  the  same  kindly  influence. 
Without  this  aid  it  is  doubtful  if  the  year  1875  would  have 
witnessed  the  dawn  of  better  days,  arid  the  reopening  might 
have  been  delayed  indefinitely. 

On  the  15th  of  September,  1875,  the  Society  was  convened 
by  Thos.  M.  Argo,  secretary,  and  the  newly  elected  members 
proceeded  to  elect  their  own  officers,  Wm.  B.  Phillips,  presi- 
dent, with  H.  F.  Watkins,  ft.  E.  Caldwell,  R.  H.  Hughes,  K. 
P.  Battle,  Jr.,  and  George  McCorkle  as  his  associates  in  office. 

The  old  lines  of  division  between  the  Eastern  and  Western 
portions  of  the  State  were  re-established.  Accordingly  the 
Eastern  boys,  with  a  few  exceptions,  joined  the  Philanthropic 
Society,  and  the  Western  boys  the  Dialectic. 

Some  of  the  new  members  had  already  acquired  some  expe- 
rience in  the  conduct  of  debating  societies  at  Davidson  College, 
Emory  and  Henry,  Bingham  School,  Horner's  School,  etc. 


The  Dialectic  Society.  35 

Some  were  even  familiar  with  the  especial  features  of  the 
Dialectic  Society,  for  the  Philanthropic  Society  at  Davidson 
College  had  been  remodeled  in  1867-69,  by  former  students 
of  the  University  and  members  of  the  Dialectic  Society  seeking 
instruction  there,  on  the  plans  of  this  very  Society. 

The  greater  part  of  the  new  members,  however,  had  not 
been  accustomed  to  an  organization  of  such  dignity  and 
earnestness,  so  that  the  work  of  training  and  disciplining 
them  fell  upon  the  new  officers.  How  well  they  acquitted 
themselves  of  this  task  may  be  inferred  from  the  result  of  the 
October  elections. 

Three  of  the  five  were  re-elected  :  W.  B.  Phillips  and  Kemp 
P.  Battle,  Jr.,  to  the  same  positions  they  had  been  holding, 
and  R.  L.  Payne. 

The  first  reunion  of  the  Society  under  the  new  regime  was 
held  during  Commencement  week  of  1876,  and  it  gladdened 
the  hearts  of  scores  of  old  Dialectics  to  see  the  loved  Society 
thus  starting  on  another  life  of  usefulness  and  honor.  The 
Commencement  meeting  has  always  seemed  to  me  the  choicest 
bit  of  college  life,  attended  as  it  is  by  those  old  members  who 
have  realized  the  burdens  of  life,  the  dusty  road  of  daily 
struggle,  and  the  hard-earned  honors  of  professional  activity, 
and  who  snatch  a  day  from  their  desks,  pulpits  and  farms  to 
revive  anew  the  never-to-be-forgotten  joys  of  early  manhood. 
What  if  they  do  grow  a  trifle  prolix  and  lengthy  in  their 
reminiscences,  or  offer  a  paper  of  unseemly  protraction  on  the 
past  history  of  the  Society  ?  It  is  but  once  a  year,  and  like 
the  annual  return  of  Chemistry  and  Conic  Sections,  should  be 
borne  with  meekness,  if  not  welcomed  with  heartfelt  cordiality. 

With  the  election  of  officers  on  April  14th,  1877,  terminated 
the  writer's  active  connection  with  the  Society,  as  he  received 
his  diploma  at  the  Commencement  of  1877. 

During  the  last  year,  1876-77,  there  had  been  a  revival  of 
at  least  one  of  the  old  Greek  letter  fraternities,  the  Phi  Kappa 
Sigma,  not  indeed  with  the  full  and  free  permission  of  the 
powers  that  were,  but  in  a  quiet,  unostentatious,  modest  way. 
It  did  not,  however,  interfere  with  either  of  the  Literary 
Societies,  as  has,  I  fear,  most  unfortunately  been  the  case 
within  the  past  three  or  four  years  when,  under  permission, 
these  fraternities  have  multiplied. 


36  Historical  Sketches  of 

The  writer's  connection  with  the  Phi  Kappa  Sigma  dates 
from  almost  its  earliest  reorganization  at  Chapel  Hill,  and  he 
is  prepared  to  say  that  whatever  differences  have  since  arisen 
between  the  fraternities  and  the  societies  are  due  to  the  prin- 
ciples of  neither  the  one  nor  the  other,  but  have  to  be  sought 
elsewhere. 

That  the  interest  in  the  societies,  as  arenas  of  literary  effort, 
was  keener  during  the  first  three  or  four  years  of  the  new 
regime  than  it  has  been  since  is,  I  think,  not  to  be  success- 
fully gainsaid.  But  the  fundamental  cause  of  this  is  not  to  be 
sought  in  the  re-establishment  of  the  fraternities. 

Membership  in  the  Society  need  not  and  does  not  interfere 
with  membership  in  the  fraternity,  and  conversely,  member- 
ship in  the  fraternity  need  not  and  does  not  interfere  with  the 
proper  work  of  the  Society.  If  proofs  of  this  assertion  be 
demanded  it  is  only  necessary  to  refer  to  some,  yes,  even 
many,  of  the  very  best  students  of  the  past  twelve  years  who 
were  zealous  fraternity  men  and  at  the  same  time  attained  the 
highest  honors  in  the  Society,  as  well  as  in  the  class-room  and 
upon  the  rostrum. 

The  proper  work  of  the  Dialectic  Society  is  of  two  kinds, 

/first,  the  training  of  young  men  by  young  men  in  the  conduct 
of  legislative  business,  and  second,  to  afford  to  young  men  an 
opportunity  of  learning  what  to  say  and  how  to  say  it. 
V  We  never  realize  the  immense  importance  of  these  two  things 
until  we  are  brought  into  contact  with  the  great  world  that  lies 
outside  of  the  college  walls,  but  for  which  the  training  within 
those  walls,  if  it  be  properly  conducted,  constitutes  the  very 
best  preparation. 
j  To  know  what  to  say  is  good,  to  know  when  to  say  it  is 
better,  but  to  know  how  to  say  it  is  best  of  all. 

These  three  indispensable  factors  of  success  are  to  be 
obtained  in  this  hall,  fellow-members,  as  nowhere  else.  The 
debate,  the  composition,  the  speech  may  each  and  all  be 
irksome,  but  they  are  necessary,  and  as  such  are  beyond  value 
as  they  are  beyond  law. 

I  care  not  what  position  of  life  one  may  afterwards  occupy, 
whither  he  may  wander  nor  in  what  environment  his  lines  may 
finally  be  cast,  as  a  sweet  and  precious  memory  there  will  come

back  to  him  the  hours  spent  in  this  hall  where  virtue  and 
science  stand  ever  beckoning,  ever  solacing,  and  ever  fruitful 
of  the  choicest  blessings  to  all  who  set  their  faces  as  a  rock 
towards  their  eternal  habitations.

The  career  of  the  Society  from  1877  to  :88o  presents  little  of 
special  interest.  With  this  year  begins  the  last  of  the  centen- 
nial sketches.

THE  HISTORY  OF  THE  DIALECTIC  SOCIETY 
FROM  SEPTEMBER,  1880,  TO  JUNE,  1S85. 

By  E.  P.  Mangum,  A.  M.,  of  the  Asheville  Graded  Schools. 

The  history  of  all  organizations,  as  well  as  that  of  all  coun- 
tries, is  a  recital  of  successes  and  failures  ;  but  grateful  is  the 
historian  who  feels  that,  while  he  must  call  to  mind  the  faults 
and  defects  of  his  beloved  country  or  society,  he  can  still 
chiefly  confine  his  statements  to  an  account  of  progress  and 
continual  improvement.  Such  is  the  case  with  the  one  who 
has  undertaken  to  trace  briefly,  but  pointedly,  the  history  of 
our  Society  for  the  period  of  1880  to  1885.  It  has  ever  been 
the  good  fortune  of  our  Society  to  have  among  its  members 
men  who  fully  appreciated  the  vital  interests  of  their  charge, 
and  who  were  willing  to  sacrifice  personal  interests  upon  her 
altar. 

The  year  of  1880  and  1881  found  the  Di  Society  in  the 
hands  of  some  of  the  strongest  men  that  have  ever  had  the 
direction  of  its  affairs.  They  had  to  govern  by  a  constitution 
which,  though  strong  and  comprehensive  from  the  beginning, 
had  lately  been  revised,  and  therefore  they  were  launching 
their  charge  upon  an  unknown  sea,  to  be  guided  by  untried 
laws.  Carefully  and  diligently  did  they  perform  their  duties, 
and  to  the  honor  of  the  class  of  '81,  be  it  said  that  those  who 
received  their  first  ideas  of  society  work  from  them  were  clearly 
shown  that  "  duty  "  was  the  watchword,  and  that  the  direction 
of  the  Society  lay  onward  and  upward.  During  this  period 
unseemly  customs  were  changed,  new  zeal  was  aroused  in  all 
the  members,  and  the  closing  of  the  year  found  the  Society  on 
a  firmer  basis  than  ever  since  the  war. 

During  the  next  year,  '81  and  '82,  the  Society  still  went 
forward.  All  the  former  years  the  work  had  been  retarded  by 
the  heavy  debt  which  had  been  incurred  in  the  furnishing  of 
the  hall,  and  the  chief  attention  of  the  members  had  been 
directed  to  liquidating  this  debt.  Little  by  little  the  debt  had 
been  discharged  until  there  were  now  but  a  few  dollars  left  to 
be  paid.  This  was  soon  settled,  and  the  attention  of  all  was 
turned  to  the  library. 


The  Dialectic  Society.  39 

As  the  management  now  was,  the  duties  were  divided 
between  the  librarian  and  his  corps  of  assistants,  commonly 
known  as  alcove-keepers.  This  rendered  it  necessary  to  have 
continual  changes  in  the  management,  and  therefore  the 
work  was  never  properly  attended  to.  The  first  step  towards 
improvement  was  the  abolishing  of  this  system.  The  librarian 
became  a  salaried  officer,  and  was  elected  to  hold  his  office  for 
one  collegiate  year.  He  was  to  have  entire  control  of  the 
library  and  all  matters  pertaining  to  it,  except  such  as 
devolved  upon  the  library  committee.  This  was  an  import- 
ant change,  and  one  which  proved  to  be  a  move  in  the 
right  direction.  Well  and  honorably  did  W.  G.  Randall  per- 
form the  duties  of  this  office.  Under  his  strict  surveillance 
all  abuses  of  the  library  were  corrected ;  persons  who  had 
been  accustomed  to  stealing  books  out  of  the  room,  or  to 
spending  their  afternoons  lying  about  on  the  furniture,  as  well 
as  abusing  the  privileges  granted  them  by  the  Society,  were 
prohibited  from  these  misdemeanors,  and  the  library  became 
a  place  where  persons  could  read  and  study  without  the  fear 
of  boisterous  interruption.  A  natural  consequence  of  this  was 
an  increased  interest  in  the  regular  duties  of  the  hall. 

There  was  a  greater  degree  of  unity  and  good  feeling  among 
all  the  members,  arid  the  common  aim  of  all  seemed  to  be  the 
best  good  for  the  Society. 

Thus,  as  a  vessel  sailing  smoothly  on  calm  waters,  our 
Society  moved  on  unconscious  of  the  dangers  ahead.  The  law 
of  action  and  reaction  is  as  true  elsewhere  as  in  the  physical 
world,  and  soon  we  found  appearing  in  the  way  of  our  onward 
march  a  hideous  object,  and  the  wave  of  reaction  set  in. 

The  demon  of  partisanship,  filled  with  the  fierce  spirit  of 
society  politics,  for  so  long  a  time  slumbering  and  inactive, 
rose  up  from  its  long  sleep  with  renewed  strength  and  dealt  a 
severe  blow  to  all  our  interests.  Steadily  its  frightful  form 
increased  in  size,  and  with  starting  eyes  those  who  felt  the 
true  love  for  the  Society  and  knew  the  terrible  consequences 
of  this  fatal  power  watched  the  threatening  storm  gather. 
Thus  the  year  closed  under  rather  adverse  circumstances,  and 
the  members  left  for  home  to  spend  the  vacation  gathering 
fresh  strength  either  to  overthrow  their  adversary  or  to  give 
him  their  assistance  in  his  war  against  their  interests. 


40  Historical  Sketches  of 

Under  these  circumstances  the  year  of  '82  and  '83  opened, 
and  the  entire  period  was  one  of  turmoil  and  confusion.  Early 
in  the  Fall  the  conflict  began,  and  regardless  of  "  the  love  of 
virtue  and  science,"  every  action  seemed  to  be  directed  against 
our  sacred  motto.  The  medals  of  the  Society,  together  with 
all  Society  honors,  both  public  and  private,  were  no  longer  to 
be  looked  forward  to  with  pride  as  the  righteous  reward  of 
just  merit.  He  who  could  find  a  host  of  his  fellow-members 
to  back  him,  simply  because  he  was  their  friend,  let  him  be 
deserving  or  not,  he  was  the  victor  in  all  contests,  and  right 
sorrowfully  did  those  true  to  their  vows  look  upon  the  down- 
ward tendency  of  our  Society.  The  high  aim  of  the  Society 
was  defeated,  and  those  who  were  honestly  laboring  for  the 
good  of  themselves  and  of  their  Society,  seeing  their  work  to 
be  in  vain  and  unappreciated,  reluctantly  withdrew  from  the 
fight  to  wait  for  the  time  to  come  when,  its  strength  being 
spent,  they  might  strike  a  death-blow  against  their  terrible 
enemy.  Confusion  reigned  on  all  sides,  and  bitter  enmities 
arose  throughout  the  entire  college.  Thus  the  year  closed 
with  the  clouds  still  lowering  and  threatening. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  year  of  '83  and  '84  the  storm  was 
still  gathering.  Erelong  it  broke  in  all  its  fury  upon  our 
heads,  and  we  could  feel  the  strong  timbers  of  our  Society 
government  tottering  and  threatening  to  fall  upon  us.  Still  the 
contest  was  to  be  no  one-sided  affair,  for  each  party  was  deter- 
mined to  die  fighting.  The  first  Fall  election  for  Society  officers 
came.  The  two  sections  were  very  evenly  matched,  and  very 
little  was  necessary  to  turn  the  scales  in  either  direction.  One 
party,  fearful  of  the  result,  brought  in  two  young  men  who  had 
not  yet  registered  as  students  for  the  year.  They  came  in  a  few 
days  before  the  Saturday  upon  which  the  election  was  to  take 
place,  registered  their  names  and  voted  for  all  the  officers.  On 
the  following  Monday  they  left  college,  never  having  attended 
a  single  recitation.  Their  party  was  successful,  but  amid  the 
rejoicings  could  be  heard  the  fierce  growls  of  disappointment 
from  those  who  believed  that  they  had  been  unfairly  dealt 
with,  and  matters  began  to  take  on  a  more  serious  aspect. 
Everything  was  forgotten  in  the  frenzy  of  party  spirit,  and 
even  the  meetings  of  the  Society  became  the  scenes  of  dis- 


The  Dialectic  Society.  41 

graceful  conduct.  In  spite  of  the  laws  and  the  constitution, 
strong  personalities  and  bitter  imprecations  were  thrown  into 
the  debates. 

After  a  little  a  calm  settled  over  all,  but  soon  the  struggle 
was  renewed.  Taking  advantage  of  the  absence  of  many 
men  belonging  to  the  New  West  Building  Party,  the  Old 
West  declared  the  former  election  fraudulent,  and  therefore 
void,  and  proceeded  to  elect  its  own  candidates.  The  tables 
were  now  turned ;  in  righteous  indignation  the  New  West 
asserted  its  rights,  and  the  Society  found  itself  in  the  posses- 
sion of  two  sets  of  regular  officers,  each  one  ready  to  assert 
what  it  considered  to  be  its  rights.  The  affair  grew  in 
strength,  and  all  saw  that  one  of  two  things  must  happen — 
either  the  matter  must  be  settled  and  the  right  man  take  his 
seat,  or  the  Society  would  be  ruined.  As  a  last  resort  the 
matter  was  referred  to  the  highest  committee  of  the  Society  for 
settlement.  This  committee  consisted  of  two  New  West  and 
three  Old  West  men,  and  judging  all  men  by  the  standard  of 
Society  politics,  the  New  West  men  believed  themselves 
defeated,  and  looked  upon  the  meeting  of  the  committee  as  a 
farce.  The  chairman  of  the  committee  called  the  vote.  Each 
New  West  man  voted  for  his  own  party ;  one  of  the  Old  West 
men  did  the  same,  and  the  chairman  called  upon  the  other 
member  for  his  vote.  Contrary  to  all  expectations,  he  voted 
against  his  party,  because,  as  he  said,  the  votes  of  those  two 
young  men  would  in  no  way  have  affected  the  election,  and 
therefore  the  first  election  was  a  valid  one.  This  decided  the 
matter ;  the  New  West  was  declared  in  power,  and  the  Old 
West  quietly,  and  with  good  grace,  yielded  to  the  decision 
of  their  committee,  thereby  preventing  a  dissolution  of  the 
Society. 

"'Tis  an  ill  wind  that  blows  nobody  good."  Never  was  the 
truth  of  this  saying  more  truly  demonstrated  than  in  the 
months  that  followed  this  struggle  for  supremacy  between  two 
maddened  factions.  As  soon  as  cool  reason  succeeded  frenzied 
and  impulsive  action,  the  members  saw  with  horror  the  abyss 
into  which  they  had  all  but  plunged,  and  in  commendable 
efforts  strained  every  nerve  to  recover  the  ground  lost  in  two 
years  of  unreasonable  strife.     Rapid  strides  were  taken,  and 


42  Historical  Sketches  of 

the  meetings  were  enlivened  by  spirited  debates  and  enter- 
taining and  instructive  essays. 

Under  these  favorable  circumstances  the  year  closed,  and  the 
sun  of  a  new  and  brighter  era  was  seen  to  be  rising  over  the 
scattered  clouds  of  the  recent  tempest. 

The  peaceful  and  orderly  manner  in  which  the  next  term 
was  begun  was  a  surprise  to  all.  Many  expected  certain  ones 
to  make  an  attempt  to  revive  the  animosities  of  former  years, 
but  the  good  judgment  of  all  pointed  out  a  different  course  of 
action,  and  things  which  had  long  been  left  uncared  for 
received  the  undivided  attention  of  every  member.  There 
were  many  things  that  needed  remedying,  among  which  were 
several  points  in  our  constitution,  and  early  in  the  Fall  of  '84  a 
committee  was  appointed  to  take  charge  of  this  matter  and 
make  all  necessary  alterations.  Long  and  earnestly  did  this 
committee  labor,  for  it  fully  understood  the  great  responsibility 
resting  upon  its  work,  and  when  its  report  was  made  to  the 
Society  it  was  honored  by  having  its  work  accepted  almost 
exactly  as  it  had  advised.  Many  laws,  before  too  broad  or  too 
limited  in  their  power,  were  changed  for  the  better,  and  the 
Society  began  once  more  to  direct  its  affairs  by  new  and 
untried  laws. 

Those  who  had  undertaken  the  task  of  the  revision  watched 
eagerly  the  progress  of  matters  that  they  might  judge  of  the 
success  of  their  labors.  They  saw  an  awakening  in  the  line 
of  literary  exercises,  which  was  looked  upon  as  a  most  favor- 
able sign  that  good  would  be  accomplished  by  their  changes 
in  that  direction.  Still,  however,  there  was  much  to  be  done 
to  improve  our  work.  The  old  system  of  giving  the  medals 
according  to  the  votes  of  the  members  was  seen  to  be  often 
abused.  This  does  not  mean  to  say  that  none  of  those  who 
obtained  the  medals  rightly  earned  them,  but  that  there  was 
less  regard  shown  for  true  merit  than  ought  to  have  charac- 
terized any  such  body  in  bestowing  such  honors.  Seeing  the 
tendency  of  things,  several  members  introduced  amendments 
to  the  constitution  to  the  effect  that  the  Essayist's  Medal,  and 
eventually  the  Debater's  and  Declaimer's  also,  should  be  given 
as  impartially  as  possible,  according  to  the  decision  of  compe- 
tent judges  to  be  selected  by  the  Society.    The  wisdom  of  the 


1/ 


The  Dialectic  Society.  43 

measure  was  apparent  to  all,  and  rapidly  found  favor  in  the 
eyes  of  the  Society.  The  renewed  efforts  of  all  were  proofs 
enough  that  the  step  would  be  productive  of  good. 

Late  in  the  spring  the  Society  was  astounded  by  a  proposi- 
tion to  the  effect  that  the  Dialectic  Library  be  consolidated  with 
that  of  the  Philanthropic  Society,  and  the  entire  body  of  books 
be  placed  in  the  building  known  as  the  University  Library. 
Very  little  more  was  said  about  the  proposed  change,  but 
there  were  many  in  whose  eyes  the  subject  found  favor,  and 
all  knew  that  it  would  form  one  of  the  chief  issues  in  the  work 
of  the  coming  year. 

Nothing  further  of  any  importance  happened  during  the 
remainder  of  the  session,  and  the  class  of  '86  received  the 
Society  into  its  charge  in  a  far  better  condition  than  it  had 
been  for  years. 

Such,  fellow-members,  is  a  rapid  sketch  of  the  history  of 
our  Society  through  one  of  the  most  trying  periods  of  its 
existence,  and  the  fact  that  it  has  through  all  remained  a  unit 
is  strong  and  indisputable  proof  that  its  teachings  are  right,  its 
constitution  comprehensive  and  strong,  and  the  influence  of 
its  motto  is  ever  alive  in  the  hearts  of  all  who  have  had  it  in 
charge.  Nearly  a  century  has  passed  since  our  founders 
placed  upon  our  banner  the  watchword  of  "  The  Love  of 
Virtue  and  Science."  Through  all  conflicts  that  banner  has 
never  been  lowered,  and  with  its  never-dying  device  it  still 
floats  proudly  over  the  hearts  of  all  who  received  their  early 
training  under  its  folds.  In  this  Hall,  hallowed  by  the  events 
of  nearly  one  hundred  years,  statesmen,  orators,  divines, 
soldiers — men  have  been  born ;  here  they  built  the  founda- 
tions of  that  power  which  they  have  wielded  for  the  good  of 
the  world ;  and  when  leaving  they  handed  into  our  keeping  / 
the  old  flag,  with  its  motto  still  bright,  and  those  to  whom  4t 
is  yearly  given  should  guard  that  flag  faithfully  through  life, 
for  it  has  ever  waved  proudly  over  a  goal  beyond  which  is  the 
beautiful  temple  of  Fame.

44  Historical  Sketches  of 

In  the  spring  of  1886  the  proposition  to  unite  the  three 
libraries  being  renewed  in  a  better  form  was  passed,  but  only 
after  violent  opposition.  The  consolidation  was  effected  in 
the  summer  of  1886,  and  Smith  Hall  now  contains  the  united 
libraries  of  the  societies  and  the  University,  the  combined  form 
being  far  more  convenient  and  useful  than  the  three  formerly 
were  when  separate. 

In  the  spring  of  1888  the  Society  was  dumbfounded  by 
rumors  that  Saturday  was  to  be  devoted  to  recitations,  thus 
necessitating  the  end  of  Saturday  morning  meetings.  The 
measure  was  passed  by  the  Trustees  in  June,  1888,  and  the 
new  system  went  into  operation  in  the  following  autumn. 
The  Di's  had  not  realized  the  situation  before  they  were  called 
on  to  revise  their  constitution  to  suit  the  new  order  of  things. 
They  were  appalled  at  the  prospect  of  ruin  to  the  best  interests 
of  the  Society,  and  determined  to  struggle  against  it.  After 
making  certain  provisional  alterations  in  the  constitution  so 
as  to  hold  one  meeting  a  week  instead  of  two,  and  that  on 
Saturday  afternoon,  the  Society  appointed  two  delegates, 
Messrs.  J.  I.  Foust  and  W.  F.  Shaffher,  to  appear  before  the 
Board  of  Trustees  at  their  January  meeting  and  plead  for  a 
reversal  of  their  action.  Despite  the  opposition  of  the  Philan- 
thropic Society  they  made  a  most  favorable  impression  on  the 
Board,  and  in  June,  1889,  the  matter  was  compromised  so  as  to 
allow  the  usual  two  meetings. 

Not  since  the  war  had  the  Society  passed  so  dreary  and 
unprofitable  a  year  as  that  of  i8S8-'8c).  The  members  were 
disheartened  and  felt  little  impulse  to  give  their  best  energies 
to  society  work.  But  when,  by  the  restoration  of  the  Saturday 
sittings,  the  work  of  the  Society  received  fresh  recognition 
from  the  authorities,  interest  revived,  the  debates  and  decla- 
mations became  spirited,  and  good  order  characterized  the 
meetings.  It  is  earnestly  hoped  and  believed  that  the  past 
year  is  but  an  earnest  of  an  even  more  glorious  future. 

Of  the  Society  library  enough  has  been  said  already.  The 
old  library  hall  has  been  devoted  to  the  purposes  of  a  museum 
and  picture  gallery.  Much  that  is  of  interest  is  already  there, 
and  it  is  earnestly  desired  that  more  be  added  till  the  place 
becomes  one  of  the  first  attractions  of  the  University.

The  walls  of  the  Society  Hall  itself  are  to  be  reserved 
entirely  for  oil  portraits.  Of  these  there  are  now  twenty-four. 
Over  the  president's  chair  hangs  a  fine  painting  of  James 
Mebane,  the  first  president.  To  the  right  are  Charles  Manly, 
William  Hooper,  Abram  Rencher,  George  E.  Badger,  William 
A.  Graham,  Willie  P.  Mangum,  Julian  S.  Carr,  Duncan  Came- 
ron, John  M.  Morehead,  Thomas  Ruffin  and  Rufus  Barringer. 
To  the  left  of  the  president's  chair  are  William  R.  Davie,  John 
Owen,  James  S.  Smith,  Alfred  M.  Scales,  James  Phillips,  David 
L.  Swain,  Kemp  P.  Battle,  Paul  C.  Cameron,  James  K.  Polk, 
Thomas  L.  Clingman  and  Archibald  D.  Murphey.  A  fine 
portrait  of  the  Hon.  Zebulon  B.  Vance  has  not  yet  been  hung. 
Of  these  some  were  presented  by  request,  but  most  of  them 
were  painted  at  the  expense  of  the  Society  in  the  days  of  her 
opulence.

EXPLANATION. 

The  names  of  active  members  alone  are  printed.  They  are  given  by 
years  of  entrance  ihto  the  Society.  In  the  great  majority  of  cases  this 
corresponds  with  the  year  of  entrance  into  the  University.  By  year  of 
entrance  is  meant  the  collegiate,  not  the  calendar  year.  Thus  the  year 
1877  includes  the  fall  of  '77  and  the  spring  of  '7S. 

After  each  name  is  given  the  place  of  residence  at  entrance,  then  the 
degree  taken  in  the  University,  or  if  no  degree  was  conferred,  the  year  of 
leaving  college,  together  with  all  honorary  degrees.  Next  are  placed  the 
date  of  birth,  the  various  positions  of  trust  or  honor  held,  profession  and 
present  residence.  If  dead,  the  last  place  of  residence  is  given,  and  the 
dates  of  birth  and  death  are  placed  last.  When  no  State  is  named,  North 
Carolina  is  understood,  except  in  such  cases  as  plainly  imply  what  State  is 
meant. 

The  letter  c.  (Latin  circa)  before  a  date  indicates  that  it  is  only  approxi- 
mately accurate.
